Storyline

"Documentary following England Football Fans to the 1986 Mexico World Cup. It combines World Cup Stories and the Madness that followed for a few Years in Dallas and Monterrey"

In Thatcher's grim Black Country of 1986, Gary (AKA Adder) and five pals bolt for the Mexico World Cup, plunging into a riotous, beer-soaked adventure among England's misfit supporters. From stadium chaos sparked by Maradona's "Hand of God" to a wild, thousand-mile journey across Mexico and beyond, what begins as a reckless escape spirals into something far bigger - a legendary summer that rewires their lives and forges bonds that last a lifetime.
