On the March with Bobby's Army
Kevin Allen, a 28-year-old actor and long time 'student of the game', has made a unique fan's-eye view of the 1990 World Cup football finals in Italy in this 'road movie'.
Armed only with a small video camera, he set out to travel and live on the campsites with Bobby Robson's unwanted and unloved army of England supporters. What emerged is an epic of chaotic wit, intrigue, fear and despair, and a deep affection for the game.
