Yep. A Field Goal kicking mule from Yugoslavia that is capable of making it through the uprights from 100 Yards. As ridiculous as it sounds, this movie made money for Disney in 1976, and it was likely loosely based on the European soccer players who were starting to find their way into American Football. Still, the field goal kicking mule is more believable than Don Knotts as a Football Coach.

We are a little torn on this nomination. As much as we enjoyed the coming of age Scottish film, “Gregory’s Girl”, the lead character (played by John Gordon Sinclair in what we believe was his only movie) lost his starting position to the object of his affection, Dorothy, who proved to be the star of the soccer team. Still, in terms of young characters, it is hard to find one better than this one.

A former Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the world had his most famous fight in Springfield when he got out of prison to face none other than…Homer Simpson. Sure, he was a Mike Tyson parody, but we respect anyone who can have conversations with Charlie Sheen about sea bass.

It may not have been one of the great teen 1980’s “coming of age” films in the United States, but Gregory’s Girl was just that in Scotland, and in the United Kingdom in general. The “girl” in question is Dorothy, the object of Gregory’s affection and the best player on the soccer team. We have to respect anyone who is the best player on a certain team, but is this film really about the sport? Not really.
