==Plot==
In 1983 Don Robson started a boys football team called Athletico Greenwich. Twenty years later six of the lads are still playing for the team, but things have become so much more complicated.
While it is the Sunday football team that keeps this group of friends together, this is not a film about football. This is a film about complex relationships, and how childhood friends have to change as they mature.<ref>[http://www.channel4.com/film/reviews/film.jsp?id=155851&page=2 'Channel 4 Film Review'], Clare Poland, June 2006</ref>
