As with any situations where there''s an element of stress, expectation and high drama, inevitably, Hollywood will make a movie out of it 20 years down the line.

So, if you were the casting director for NCFC 05 The Escape, who would you cast in the lead roles?

My choice would have to be:

Worthy:  Hugh Grant - Bumbling, Quiet, but charming none-the-less

Ashton:  Clive Owen - Presence, unassuming, a born star

Green:  Jim Carrey - Bendy, great reflexes, needs a haircut

Leon:  Chris Rock - relentless, energetic, all-over-the-place

Hucks:  Keanu Reeves - The saviour or NCFCMankind.

Thoughts on scrpit and stars?

Greeno should be played by Michael J. Nelson

Mate, If you''re starring Keanu Reeve as huckerby, he''ll need an almighty haircut. How about Arnie as Ashton, tells the back four of the opposition

"Ill be back."

Great film that would make.

Fleming played by Dan de Vito.

Nah i think sean connery should play Fleming with De Vito playing the part of Simon Charlton. Francis could be played by Eddie Murphy???

[Kathy 733]

Greeno could be played by that bloke who played Shaggy in Scooby Doo.

Isn''t Charlton smaller? I would have De Vito playing Charlton and then Sean Bean as Fleming as a northern "tough guy" who isn''t really.

Or....how about slimmed down versions of Ross Kemp and Steve McFadden? Or are they just too ''tough''?

Orlando Bloom could step into Bentley''s shoes, although i''m sure DB would audition to play himself.

A full size A4 printable one, which looks better on paper than on screen, can be gotten from http://www.thorny.co.uk/NCFCGreatEscape.jpg

The screen doesn''t do it justice

Nice work Thorny. I can see that as a billboard outside Carrow Ruud when we hit 39 points.

John Motson will be interviewing Worthy in front of it for a MOTD snippet, with the Great Escape theme playing in the background.

Good skills Thorny.  Top stuff.  It now has pride of place as my background at work.
