Actor Toby Jones who portrays Neil Baldwin is himself a lifelong Stoke City supporter
The game in which Neil Baldwin played for Stoke City was Gordon Cowan's of Aston Villa's testimonial at Villa Park. Baldwin missed an open goal as the opposition attempted to let him score when a late substitute.
In the movie, there are scenes where Neil and Lou Macari talked about the time Neil saved a girl from suicide. In real life, Lou Macari's youngest son Johnathan committed suicide in 1999.
Stoke City's Victoria Ground has long been demolished so Crewe Alexandra's Gresty Rd and Wrexham's Racecourse ground were used to portray Stoke's former home.
The incident with the chicken suit was an away game at Cambridge Utd. It was such a hot day that some supporters passed out and bottles of water given out to fans by stewards but Neil Baldwin wore the chicken outfit whilst sat in the dug out.
"Neil Baldwin: I always wanted to be happy, so I decided to be."
"Lou Macari: Just out of interest, what did you tell that girl who wanted to kill herself? Neil Baldwin: I said "we've all got to go sometime, love. But why do you have to go now"."
