“Victory” Honored
On Janauary 29, 2009, Mirror.co.uk listed their choices for the Five Best Football Movies of All Time. Victory was listed in the top spot. Here’s what they had to say:
Any football film starring Michael Caine, Sylvester Stallone, Bobby Moore, Osvaldo Ardiles and Pelé deserves to top this list. Escape To Victory is a classic football flick that sees our heroes getting one over on the Germans while playing some very attractive football. The plot may be wafer thin and some of the acting wooden, but it’s compelling viewing for any football fan.
