Saturday Morning Pictures Vol.2: Cup Fever (1965), Hide and Seek (1972) DVD9

Here we have Volume 2 of Network's Saturday Morning Pictures series that feature movies produced by the Children's Film Foundation (later renamed the Children's Film And Television Foundation). This volume is a corker featuring an ace footie film called Cup Fever that stars a very young and non-sexualised (for a change) Susan George with Bernard Cribbins and David Lodge along with some guest appearances from some top-class British football/soccer legends that include George Best, Nobby Stiles and Denis Law. The second movie on the disc is a slightly gritty crime caper that stars future Spandau Ballet legend Gary Kemp along with Roy Dotrice and the ever-watchable Liz Fraser.

Cup Fever (1965)
Barton United's hopes of winning the Manchester Junior Football League Cup receive a setback when their practice ground is taken over for use as a car park. Luckily, Manchester United help them with their training, and enable them to win the Cup – and a new pitch.
