Remember those god awful ‘Goal’ films, in which Mexican born Kuno Becker wades himself though terrible Geordie stereotypes and wooden dialogue?

Speaking to the Sun, British screenwriter Adrian Butchart is as we speak (perhaps not literally) in LA making making arrangements to discuss a deal, he comments;
It’s the kind of story that if we made it up, people wouldn’t believe it
His achievements are incredible and to break the Premier League record with such a sublime goal against the biggest club in football pushed him to the top of our agenda.
It’s amazing to think he was playing non-league football and making medical splints for a living until so recently before breaking the record. It is the kind of role actors dream of.
Who does he want to portray Sheffield finest? None other than Zac Efron. That is if Robert Pattinson and Andrew Garfield are too busy for the role.
Who ever it gets ‘chosen’ to appear in the biography of the modern day , we must insist that they go truly ‘method’ by joining in with some good old training ground japes at Fleetwood Town, get truly ‘Vardy’d’ with full make-down ala Charlize Theron in Monster, perhaps they could even develop a strong disapproval of Japanese culture?
What ever happens, we only encourage an absolute train wreck of this ilk to hit screens as soon as possible.
