16. The Football Factory (2004)

The hooliganism of a Chelsea firm is depicted in this movie

A fair warning if one is hoping to find serious football action in a movie then this is not for you. The Football Factory is strictly a movie based on hooligans. It has barely anything to do with the actual sport but the things which are unfortunately associated with it: drugs, sex and violence.

All clubs across the globe have at least once been associated with similar tragic incidents. This movie strictly talks about the involvement of certain sections of Chelsea fans in such acts. The movie is based on a novel written by Nick Love about a member of the Chelsea firm who tries to justify his actions by claiming to make a difference.

Is it the cleverest of movies? Certainly not but nonetheless it shows a side of club football that is often ignored and the causalities that comes with it. An interesting watch taking one on a bumpy ride exploring football’s dark side.
