Couldn't agree more it at least understands the heart of the game and takes a human look at the managers lot while also adding in some cracking football jokes. The airport scene is tremendous taking 5 minutes to sum up the conflict of the home nations and even using Alan green voice of football on the radio when getting the Luxembourg score. Also the Kipling if scene is genuinely brilliantly acted and inspiring
Had this on video VHS 📼 back in the day, I think I've still got it somewhere. Ricky Tomlinson at his best. (snatches phone off Harper who's wife is always ringing him) *"Will you FOOOHHHK OFF!"* 🤣
That Keegan quote at the beginning was something I heard him say on the TV and then posted off to Private Eye's Coleman Balls. I feel like I've contributed to this film.
Mike Bassett should be managing a charity England side akin to these soccer aid games. If someone in production had the sense to make it happen… would be comedy gold
I thought Walsh was supposed to be Graham Taylor’s assistant Phil Neal. Who just repeated everything he said? It is on the “Do I not like that?” Documentary.
" What you doing to help me lad apart from locking the balls in the back of the bloody opel " A fucking criminally underrated movie. An absolute classic
England board didnt want to appoint Sir Alex cuz hes Scottish 😅😅 Lambert & Butler selected into the England set up one who is 46 year's old 😅 you cant write this stuff
The English, Irish and Scottish fighting in airport always gets me 🤣
The Spinal Tap of football. Brilliant in every way.
Four Four Freakin Two....
The problem with this movie is that it is so well made, you don't where the reality ends and the comedy begins.
Its pure goofy spoof from start till finish.
The characters are fictional like Mike himself. He’s the detective from Cracker after all.
0😅😅
Haven't seen this film in years, watching it back now, it could pass as a real documentary from what I remember of the 90's...
Thanks for posting. The best football film in my opinion and quite underrated.
Couldn't agree more!

Comic genius and all of the romance of being an England fan distilled into 90 minutes of entertainment. Mandatory education for the youths.
A football classic

Such an amazing film and if your a football fan you know every single character parody from the time

Always wanted to see this oldie but goldie..Ricky's a legend
The line up has me every time😂😂😂 it's the black dude between the lights 🤣😅
The daul carriageway does it for me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Utter legend for posting

Woooow me and my brother still quote this movie from back when! Probly "4 4 fookin' 2" times by now 😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks so so so much for sharing this fantastic film, Ricky tommlinson 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 hes the man
That is one hell of a feel good film....
Three cheers for Ramirez!
Love this film. Ten Hag out, Mike Bassett in!!!
Daniel Levy is watching this.MIKE BASSETT.NEW SPURS MANAGER.?😄👍
Love the Kipling touch,half the people watching won't know who that is
I love his cakes.
hes the cake bloke.
@@timjones9962 the best right winger Norwich have ever had....
And what a touch he had.... Best footballer ever to turn out for Darlington.
Three across the middle and one in bloody pentonvile 😂
Should have been Chelmsford? Tony Adams.
He's still an upgrade on Gareth Southgate aswell is Mike 😂😂😂
Mike Bassett should be managing a charity England side akin to these soccer aid games. If someone in production had the sense to make it happen… would be comedy gold
too busy ticking boxes
Impossible. Harry dodgy wheeler dealer Redknapp who has managed an England side for charity is already a parody of himself.
Seen this so many times still so funny 😂
“Tonka, one on one with Bastardo” lol
You miss so many little gems like that. I had this in my teens on VHS and can't remember it been this funny. A class film.
@@DH-gg6jx its more funny now, because your older and understand the jokes better now
@@relentless1989 100%
Amazing film, thanks for posting mate
It's as if Danny from 'Rate My Takeaway' had secured the big job.
Legend thanks for uploading...
No problem, one of my favorite films
Absolutely fantastic 👏 😂
Should be renamed Gareth Southgate england manager because he is a real life Mike Bassett
"Ah, there's one here from Ron Greenwood! How about droppin' Mick Channon?"
Amazing,proper nostalgia trip for me
You're heading for the dual carriageway! You're going the wrong bloody way!

"Look at that! Fantastic header!" "Hint of a handball there, Martin?" 😆
Against Argentina? No chance?
This is quality
This is so hard to find, haven't seen it in years. Top man thank you.
You know what year this came out btw mate?

You can see lots of the C4 Graham Taylor Dispatches documentary. Brad Walsh is basically Phil Neale.
Hyundai, daewoo, need I say more
Philip Jackson playing Lawrie McMenemy is an absolute class apart and Bradley Walsh i think as a parody of Phil Neal... Brilliant.
I thought Walsh was supposed to be Graham Taylor’s assistant Phil Neal. Who just repeated everything he said? It is on the “Do I not like that?” Documentary.
The Walsh character is based on Phil Neal.
Ladies and gentlemen England will be playing 4-4 fucking 2
Today’s generation just don’t get football the way we do.
do they get anything today ?
Yes offended, thats what they get by everything and anything@@joycegibbs5267
Next Birmingham City Manager
Four Four Fucking Two
“Boss, have you seen my arse anywhere?” 🤣 19:20

90s were the last decade of Englishness
Should make this the euro song this year
Funny as fk this film,Bassett is a legend ha
True Soccer Ball
3 cheers for Ramirez 😂😂😂
Should always form part of a England fan's tournament viewing
" What you doing to help me lad apart from locking the balls in the back of the bloody opel "
A fucking criminally underrated movie. An absolute classic
21:37 great tackle play on ref lol
They actually look English
Its almost like there English??
Jack Grealish 2.4 seconds after winning the treble:
12:52
Wacko there gonna score, great goal.... nice one Poland. 😂
Mike Basset's house looks like Big Sam's from the outside.
I might be going mad but I thought Luxembourg beat Russia, not Turkey in the qualifiers?
21:40 great tackle lol
22:13 footage from England 0-1 Germany keegans and England's last ever game at the old Wembley
That guy who scored the goal for England 🏴 got karma on Argentina 🇦🇷
Tonka is meant to be Gazza?
Yeah
Hilarious.
It's the John Beck of football films. Just what I'm looking for.
War and Peace? oh no thats that Russian box to box midfield dynamo...Leo.
@@CARLIN4737 John Beck, once arrested for defrauding Customs and Excise. The type of thing that got him a job at the FA.
22:26 oh bollocks that's the plan gone
That's st albans not Norwich
36:51 go out on a Sunday and score 3 with his head lol
Well at least Norwich have now won something at last
You know that Daewoo car you sold me it’s an absolute fucking disgrace
When did they make all or nothing for Gareth southgate 😅😂
England board didnt want to appoint Sir Alex cuz hes Scottish 😅😅 Lambert & Butler selected into the England set up one who is 46 year's old 😅 you cant write this stuff

Laugh out loud stuff.
Southgate out
Mike Bassett in
@@nevermindthebollocks1171100%
Southgate in.
Have a day off 😂 changed this country around in terms of international football!
Nah keep Southgate in the Welsh really admire his tactics lol
Klopp fer england!!
I'm undecided if this is a decent film or absolutely crap.
Most unrealistic thing in this film is Norwich winning anything.
Scotland lose to Ethiopia 😂😂😂
I know....just brilliant...
Total bollox.
Magic....
Forgot how utterly dreadful this is.
Benson and hedges brilliant footballers end of story.
Luxembourg 😂😂😂
