The magnificent eleven

after the work on facial on the 4th of december i got the call to work on this feature film on the 16th december 2011.The train journey to earlsfield was a night mare and when i got there it was pouring with rain,luckly i meet some others from the film and we all walked to the venue together.
It was fun meeting people and seeing the stars as they turned up,paul barber,denzil from only fools and horses,sean pertwee from dog soliders,keith allen,father of lilly.Then the former pro footballers,chris kamara,ian walker,dion dublin,i had my picture taken with chris kamara.
Then i had my picture taken with former tottenham and england goal keeper ian walker
Then it was to the playing field,just a normal field,the goals didnt even have nets.I was a fan of the pro team,it was funny because it was so cold keith allen refused to come out of warm van until last second before filming.The other team were to score and we wereto put our hands on our heads,like oh no.I was right by the goal post and kept putting my wooly hat on between takes,it was freezing.
The scene took a while,walker saved a couple,then the wrong person scored,finally they got it right.
Dion dublin is the numer 9 in picture.Then it was lunch of chicken and rice,i saw sean pertwee and said how much i liked dog soliders and he said cheers mate,a nice bloke.
The seond half was bad,it was so cold and now i was at the other end,still right next to goal post and my hands and feet where frozen.This time walker was to save and bring ball to half way line and score.Not so easy,some times the team would score,finally he got the save and took the ball to half way line,could he score no.He tried again and again,finally they had dion dublintry,after a while he scored,so they filmed ian taking shot but it was dion who got it haha.Final scene was us walking home cheers and punching the air in victory,we had to do this about 3 times,god i was so cold by this time.Walking back i got talking to linda,she was a presenter and host of sky televisions,QVC channel.a nice lady,we went back picked up our money and went home,a great day even with the cold.
The mascots having fun.
Some of the other supporting actors waiting around in the cold.But a great day and to meet so many people was wonderful,should be a very good movie when it comes out in 2012.
