Acting Football Players

If you allow write-ins from soccer, Pele was in a shitty WWII movie with Sly Stallone and some of Europe's finest. I think it was called "Escape to victory".

It was titled Victory.  At least, that was the US title;  it might have had a different title in other markets.

No, you're most likely right.
It's been 25 years or so since I saw it.
Norwegian footballer Hallvard Thoresen had a small part.

Tough call between a few good options.  I'm going with my sentimental favorite and the unlisted John Matuszak.  He played for my favorite team (Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders)and he was in my favorite movie as a child (The Goonies).  I'm disappointed he didn't make the list.

Oh, that was an Oscar-worthy performance there.

Definitely Escape to Victory in the UK. As well as Sly and Pele, it had Ossie Ardilles, Bobbie Moore, Michael Caine and a bunch of other footballers.

Sly was the goalie, I remember. The Germans were suitably evil.

Of course, you'd throw the midget in as the goalie.
I think I need to find it and watch it again.

There's a Spanish company that makes replicas of classic & retro footie shirts that has made a model like the one Stallone wears, in case anyone is interested.

I saw a chunk of it again a year or so ago. It's not a great film by any means but brought back some great memories of being a football mad kid in the later 70s/early 80s - John Wark, Mike Summerbe, Ipswich's glory days, Ozzie's army...
