I find that the book has an overarching theme of the sociology of sport, and how sport (and the investment in sport) can help to uplift society, both in terms of jobs creation and also in terms of infrastructure (like how Manchester City’s owners have improved parts of Manchester, thereby also improving the social situation in some aspects such as having people gainfully employed and not engaging in illicit activity such as drug abuse in previously-afflicted parts of the City). The beautiful game is under threat. The greed and selfishness of the biggest clubs is harming the sport, with smaller clubs struggling for financial survival and supporters being left behind.

In this interview, we speak to Stephen Glynn about his book, The British Football Film , ‘a genre study optimistically undertaken by a Janus-faced creature, a film historian and a fan of football’ (15). Glynn discusses the history and conventions of the British football film, touches on its representations of class, gender, race and sexuality and reflects on its possible future in an increasingly digital world.

How do you attend to the distinctiveness of the different national teams within the UK? A passionate and personal account of how football has lost its soul by former player and leading pundit, Gary Neville. British football remains, arguably, the sole bastion for homophobia, and The Pass, adapted from John Donnelly’s Royal Court play with Russell Tovey reprising his stage role, is a film well worth seeing, about a Premiership star struggling to ‘pass’ as heterosexual. It challenges, yes, but the problem for the film, as I recall a review pointing out, was finding an audience: would conventional soccer fans want to see a film about a gay player wrestling with his sexual identity, and would a modern LGBT crowd be sympathetic to the player’s at times self-loathing decisions? I’ve mentioned how, if given a sufficient budget, CGI can smooth over the generic fault lines in matchplay recreations. In the future? Sky Sports television recently featured coverage of the FIFA Interactive World Cup. I conclude my book with speculation on how gaming will influence the future not just of the football film, but the game itself: the Premiership has certainly lost a whole generation of paying fans (the average attendance is now aged 40+), and clubs, mindful of future fan creation, are currently signing up ‘e-players’ so they can reach out and ‘sell their brand’ to teenagers. The new Tottenham stadium also includes plans to host major e-sports events. A feature film featuring a football video games player would be a shrewd next move.
