Production

For the final at Wembley Stadium, footage was used from the 1979 Football League Cup final between Southampton and Nottingham Forest, intercut with additional scenes containing the film's actors. To correspond with the real final footage, the fictional "Saints" players wore replica Southampton kits featuring yellow shirts and blue shorts, although some had incorrect details.
