Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development.

Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

I would have thought the character was more inspired by Graham Taylor, much of the film is a take off of the channel 4 documentary that covered much of his tenure. If anyone has any opposition I'll change it? 163.1.141.40 22:25, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

Well, the bleeped out rant during half time against Mexico is definitely inspired by that documentary, but on the whole I don't see a whole lot of Taylor in Mike Bassett. We probably should mention Taylor as well, but I don't think it would be right to say the majority of the film or character is based on him. Worldtraveller 22:33, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

I'd agree, but i'd say Bassett is a mixture of both Keegan and Taylor. The similarity of Bassett's assistants to Phil Neal and Lawrie McMenemy should also probably be picked up on. Maybe a subsection entitled 'Similarities to 'An Impossible Job' should be added below the character similarities section? Just had a go at it myself but i'm unsure as to the names of the characters in the film or their actors, so i'll leave it for now.

I felt that harpsie was more of a beckham type. I mean, who can name lampards wife. the quiet guy is more like owen or gerrard.
