Manny's Orphans (1978)
Not Funny

Usually films about Soccer don't work - Escape to Victory is a perfect example, but nothing is as bad as Manny's Orphans (which I think was relased in the UK as "Kick!") Most films about soccer are mostly British. Now America is not a soccer palyinmg nation, so when they come to make a film on soccer, it fails!
This is about a soccer coach who leaves his job coaching at a private school, he then becomes coach at an orphanage! Eventually his new team play his old school in the final.
The orphanage is ran ban a priest, the actor that plays the priest has the worst put on Irish accent that I have ever heard in my life!
