this restaurant looking very handsome.

He's also a total fashion victim.

- He'll be worse in the future.

- I really like his style.

Is he more Prada, or more Dolce?

Well, we'll have to keep an eye on him.

He'll be Dolce & Gabbana.

I'm betting on Prada.

I'm not sure his girlfriend

will help much.

She looks pretty, if a bit pale but...

- Hello.

- Hello, pet.

- Hey, Mom, how are you?

- Oh, I'm fine.

You're in all the magazines over here.

- Are they new shoes you're wearing?

- Yes, Mom.

- Were you talking to Victoria?

- I don't even know her.

Oh, David's looking gorgeous.

- Listen, love.

- Yes, Mom?

I think you need to let

your hair down, pet. And, Roz...

What, Mom?

Well, you could do

with a bit of a spray tan.

...immobility...

- Darling, I'm trying to study.

- You can study on the plane.

I can't. I've got to get this finished.

- But I won't see you for two weeks.

- I know.

Please. Can you watch TV or something?

- It's me, you idiot.

- Sorry, it didn't sound like you.

- You busy?

- I'm always busy, monkey.

I'm at the hotel

and they're not letting us out.

It's a funny farm here.

I'm locked up with a bunch of dimwits.

- You should feel at home then.

- Seriously.

How about sneaking in?

You could come up

in one of them laundry baskets.

Not tonight.

I need my beauty sleep. I look awful.

Oh, shut it!

- Who else is there?

- ker, Guti,

- Ivn, Munez.

- Can you put Munez on?

Munez!

ker, grow up.

Yes. Santi speaking.

Hi, Santiago, yes.

The thing is, my producers are crazy

about having you on the show.

And I told them that, as a personal

favour, you would give me the exclusive.

Hm, I don't know.

You're not afraid, are you?

Hey, Gavino! Open this! Hey! Please!

Another important UEFA Champions

League night for Real Madrid.

Whoever you are in this competition,

no matter how big or small,

it's vitally important...

You could pay someone

to do that for you. Professionals.

I like doing it, Mom.

Makes the place feel like home.

His head is bound to be full of a

million different things right now.

- You should be one of them.

- I've got to be here.

They need me at the hospital.

Even if I was, I couldn't see him.

He's locked in hotels most of the week.

What's the point of having this classy

house if there's only you in it, pet?

I'm serious, love. It may only

be a few hundred miles to Madrid,

but if you let it,

it could become a world away.

What is that?!

Nice shot!

Enrique, clean the ashtrays.

No, I'm watching the football.

When they pay you to watch TV,

you'll be loaded.

Until then, get up and work,

like everybody else.

Santiago Munez, super sub!

How long can the calls for a start

be resisted by the manager?

- Good goal, man.

- You OK?

Mr Harris, what's going on with you?

You were a disaster.

Are you ever going

to score another goal?

Yeah. At this moment in time,

I am a very bad player.

Hey, coach?

- Munez.

- Can I have a word?

Sure.

Well, I'm feeling great.

I'm fit, I'm scoring goals

and I think I'm ready

to start a full game.

When you are ready to start, Munez,

I promise you,

you'll be the first to know.

Hey, baby. You won't believe

what I just bought for us.

- Go on.

- Guess. Come on!

- I don't know, Sant.

- Come on, come on!

I'm not really in the mood for games.

Lamborghini. White convertible Spyder.

Different class.

Roz?

Mr lves died this morning.

I was gonna phone you,

but I didn't want to bring you down.

- I'm sorry, baby.

- I've got to go.

Do you think Munez

is ready for a full game?

I think it's too early.

Maybe you should think again.

What's wrong with you, man?

Can't you see I almost killed you!

My name is Enrique, I'm your brother.

What?

My mother married your father,

Hernan Munez in Mexico.

The client's screaming down my throat.

I don't know what I'll say.

Mr Munez, I'm glad

you could make it, sir.

Do you mind?

We're going

straight through to the studio.

- How long will it take?

- Not too long if we go straight though.

- Rolling.

- 104, take 27.

And action!

That's why I go

for Total Tofu every time.

"The super food for the super sub."

All right, cut!

Great. That was great.

One more time, then, Santiago.

Did you do that?

Well, it says here you did, Phil.

- Santiago!

- Hey, Glen.

These people are making

a fool out of me, man.

- Who, Sant?

- This commercial.

David Beckham gets Gillette,

and I get freaking... tofu?

You got to start somewhere, Santiago.

It's good money. You shouldn't complain.

No, it's disgusting!

You try eating it for five hours.

Give me a break. Please.

- I'll have a word with...

- You know what? I'm better than this.

- Jesus.

- Was that Santiago?

Aye, it was.

For the first time this season,

Van der Merwe has a decision to make.

He's got Santi Munez and Gavin Harris,

and Gavin appears to have been

on his holidays this season.

You're talking five million

for the boy.

At the moment, it doesn't

look like he's worth a fiver to me.

- Hey.

- Surprise!

I'm glad to see you.

Cheeky git.

He just ran in front of the car?

There you go.

Are you all right?

You look a bit in shock. Hey.

Come on, it'll be all right.

Eat your dinner.

Well, did he say anything else?

No, nothing.

When he threw that at me,

I was so freaked I just drove off.

I couldn't breathe.

It might not be bad. You always

talked about wanting to find her.

I know. But right now, I can't deal with

it. In my head, she was gone forever.

She does really look like you.

- Hey.

- Santiago.

- Where did you get this?

- Is it her, Grandma?

When you went to Spain,

I worried this might happen.

Wait, you knew?

I couldn't tell you, Santiago.

I didn't want to cause you pain.

My God. You didn't tell me?

- What gave you the right?

- That woman left all of us.

She just walked away.

Left your father in pieces.

But it's my choice.

She's my mother.

She abandoned you.

How can you forgive her for that?

OK, Grandma. Let me decide, please.

Santi! Santi! Santi!

Santi, you listening?

It's a very big night

for that young man.

Santiago Munez, for the first time

since his move from Newcastle,

starts a game for Real Madrid.

Illustrious company alongside him,

to say the least.

Just look at those names.

They tend to be feisty, these encounters

between Real Madrid and Valencia.

It's Beckham forward early on.

He's picked out Munez.

Raul alongside him,

but Munez goes

for goal and glory himself.

Wanted the glory,

but I don't think Raul's happy.

Perhaps he wanted that one squared.

Raul!

Ramos back to clear off the line.

David Beckham now.

Just about hooked away by Valencia.

Under a bit of pressure here.

But now they can counter. Picked up by

Vicente, taken down by Santi Munez.

Now Munez could be in real trouble here.

He is! It's a red card.

Munez sent off

on his first start for Real Madrid.

Well, it's unbelievable, isn't it?

That's a man who's rusty.

A late challenge.

He gave the referee nowhere to go.

Born in Liverpool, Mike Jefferies is a British screenwriter and film producer. Jefferies founded the media and publishing group Mondiale in 1991 which he sold to the Daily Mail in 1999 after winning the HRH Queens Award for Enterprise in 1998. In 2000 Jefferies moved to Los Angeles where he founded and subsequently sold the B2B media group Line 56.In 2002 he moved into the world of feature films, beginning with soccer trilogy Goal!. Jefferies co-wrote the screenplay for the first Goal! with contributions from veteran British writers Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais. The story of a young illegal immigrant, rising from poverty to become one of the world's greatest players was released by Disney and has been shown in 38 countries worldwide. Goal! grossed $27.6m at the box office. The $50m deal that was struck between the producers and Adidas was the biggest ever between a corporate brand and a film production.Jefferies was one of the writers on the second part of the trilogy, Goal! 2: Living the Dream.... and co-wrote the third part Goal! 3: Taking on the World with Piers Ashworth. In September 2004 Jefferies, together with Stuart Ford, fronted a bid backed by the Kraft family, to purchase Liverpool Football Club. The bid would have valued the club at approximately £200m. In 2005 the club was subsequently purchased in a deal by Tom Hicks and George Gillett which valued the club at £218.9m. In October 2010, as part of a fans' campaign against the ownership, Jefferies conceived and directed a short film entitled 'Dear Mr Hicks' which was released virally via YouTube. The Independent newspaper praised the video saying: "True to the city's capacity to create something out of adversity, a wonderfully inventive viral film, Dear Mr Hicks, has been published online to make it clear where he ought to go. The fans' view can be summarised thus: away, and soon".In 2011 Jefferies re-launched Milkshake Films. more…
