The story

With the film narrated by Martin Bashir in a documentary form, we are told that Norwich City manager Mike Bassett (Ricky Tomlinson) is victorious in the Mr Clutch Cup final at Wembley Stadium. The Canaries later take part in an open-top bus parade but their driver accidentally takes a wrong turn and they end up going down a windswept motorway before returning to the city centre to finish the parade. Away from Norwich, it is reported in the papers that England manager Phil Cope has suffered a heart attack during qualification for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, which started out well but has since gone badly wrong.
