a movie released here in the u.s. on 12/2 reminded me a lot of green street. check out rise of the footsoldier http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0901507/

@curtis Footsoldier sucked... it didnt do anything for me...

@Mr. Miller glad to see someone else singing the praises of this movie, I discovered it a couple of years ago and instantly fell in love with it, yes it a bit ridiculous, but honestly it was true at at in the world of English Football... during the 80s I think all english clubs were banned from playing in European tournaments because of the "rowdiness" of their fans. The only thing I wish they would change, is to take the American injection in the story... I think it is interesting enough as an all British tale rather than the American experiencing the Anglo-sports and fandom.

80's? I'm afraid it's a cancer that blights football even today. And if you want Green Street without the American try The Football Factory starring Danny Dyer.

You should check out 'The Football Factory' with the worlds foremost cockney, Danny Dyer. Won't have as slick production values as Green Street buts its ever so slightly terrifying in its authenticity and violence.
