Three thrillers from the football terraces:

Rise of the Footsoldier

Hooligan. Gangster. Legend. This British crime epic charts the inexorable rise of Carlton Leach from one of the most feared generals of the football terraces to leader of a notorious gang of criminals who rampaged their way through London and Essex during the late eighties and early nineties. As his notoriety increased, Leach became tangled in a series of violent events, which culminated in the Rettendon Range Rover murders of 1995, one of the most infamous slayings in British Gangland history. This is his story.

Green Street 2

When the top players of the Green Street Elite are imprisoned following a deadly battle with their arch enemies Millwall, every day becomes a fight for survival. On the inside, rival firms and prison guards will stop at nothing to make their lives a living hell, leaving the lads with no choice but to stand their ground and fight. So when the opportunity of early release arises, the boys will stop at nothing to beat Millwall to the punch.

Cass

The incredible true story of how an orphaned Jamaican baby became one of the most feared and respected men in Britain. Adopted by an elderly white couple and brought up in an all white area of London, Cass Pennant (Nonso Anozie, RocknRolla) was forced to endure racism on a daily basis. When he joined West Ham’s notorious Inter City Firm he found a respect and sense of belonging that he never had before and rose through the ranks to become one of the leaders of the firm.
