Im sure the older posters have seen it but if you havent try and get hold of "The Sporting Life" its an old black and white movie about a rugby league players life. Really fantastic flick which Im sure would be enjoyed by all fans. I think Richard Harris was nominated for best actor in a really fantastic performance the likes of you dont see anymore
