Here is a novel idea. How about we cast the Newcastle United players, and bankroom staff in Hollywood movies where they fit the best. Sounds simple enough, but it is much harder than you can imagine.
Let us consider the titles that best describes these men.
Here we go:
Squad:
Steve Harper - Saved!
Steven Taylor - Clueless
Fabricio Coloccini - Walking Tall
Habib Beye - The Peacemaker
Sebastien Bassong - Sense and Sensibility
Jose Enrique - Raging Bull
Jonas Gutierrez - Spider-Man
Joey Barton - There Will Be Blood
Kevin Nolan - A History of Violence
Damien Duff - How to lose a Guy in 10 days
Danny Guthrie - The Recruit
Ryan Taylor - The Specialist
Alan Smith - Failure to Launch
Geremi - No Country for Old Men
Nicky Butt - The Usual Suspects
Michael Owen - Sicko
Obafemi Martins - The Dark Knight
Peter Lovenkrands - Universal Soldier
Shola Ameobi - Chicken Run
Andy Carroll - Fight Club
Mark Viduka - Oldboy
Staff:
Joe Kinnear - Lost in Translation
Chris Hughton - Be Cool
Dennis Wise - Get Shorty
Management:
Mike Ashley - Run Fat Boy Run
Derek Llambias - Idiocracy
Suggestions welcome.
