I was the one who got picked last at football because I was bloody awful. Spent many hours freezing in goal. I remember watching England Vs New Zealand rugby union and saw fat blokes on the pitch. I thought that's the sport for me. I went on to play for 30 years and played a cup final at Twickenham

[@beatlebrian4404]

I was always "left back" left back in the changing room! But seriously I wish I was and never did PE, in the 60s we had, , like here in this film a big headed PE teacher a right bastard he was!

One of the best films of all time . We had a sports teacher like him . Brilliant

[@malcolmclements9254]

Our games teacher was just like Brian Glover. We had three minutes to change, God help you if you didn't have your kit. It was sodding freezing in the winter, and muddy. The showers were luke warm and the footballs were them great big heavy casers which filled up with water in the wet and the laces nearly had your bloody eye out.

[@MegaWelshie1]

I remember those days vividly and you made me laugh out loud because you nailed it....😂😂

[@GoTellTheSpartans24]

You’d always avoid heading the ball in the winter or even duck, unless you wanted a headache!

[@bapsmcginty4782]

"Caser" Haven't heard a football called that since the 60's/70's. Well done sir👏👏👏

[@kevyarham]

Warm water!! We had to wash in a puddle on the pitch.

I was born in 1964, migrated to the UK from Canada with my family in the late 60's, and was still playing footie for Bristol University in my 40's, although sadly I haven't been able to kick a football in anger since rupturing my ACL playing 5 a side aged 50.

[@MrDallman]

Priceless …..not sure we will ever see this class of acting again….I’m so glad I’m old enough now to have been young enough back then…..

[@paulbenford354]

My school was just like this, it was us against them, kids vs teachers then when i went to work it was us against the managers. We were rock solid , it set me up for life, im 63 just retired, great days i remember them well

[@JonathanBlake-yj8bu]

Just like an old fashioned PE Teacher, i remember when a similar teacher left my school in 1975, the toughest lads in the class, who all the slipper from him were the first to shout out " three cheers for sir"...they RESPECTED him

[@brianraymen3085]

Best match ever just love looking at the lads trying not to laugh, brilliant film.

[@startingfingerstyle]

'We'll be Spurs, so there's no clash of colours' Priceless. Barry Hines who wrote this came to our school once to give a talk and read some stuff to us. You could tell he'd been a teacher before turning to writing. I remember PE lessons not unlike this one, it's very convincing (and I'd have been one of the kids in the wrong kit!)

[@beyond72deepsoulfulhousemixes]

I thought I'd be different and wear a yellow Spurs away kit on my first day (instead of the school kit)...The PE teacher lifted me up by my shorts to make an example 🤣

[@2bsure]

Best dive ever. Excellent performance by Brian Glover. Kes is a memorable film and a family favourite.

Anyone enjoying this should watch him as a wrestler in the 1970's under the name 'Leon Arris'. His bout with 'Les Kellet' is a masterclass in entertainment and skill.

[@thewomble1509]

Both he and Colin Welland were both teachers before they went into acting too.............

[@Mike-vr4pj]

Laughed myself to tears, at that dive by Brian Glover.' Absolutely wonderful. I'm pretty sure he would have got a yellow card for that one today. The penalty taking was also a brilliant laugh. 'RIP Brian Glover!' ' Gone but not forgotten!'

[@ianc3576]

It’s a thing of beauty 😂

[@davidboughton2402]

Never tire of watching this scene. Exactly how it was in games lessons at Secondary schools in the 70's.Discipline has disappeared now that's why we've ended up with a society riddled with crime and lack of respect.
