Granted use of Elland Road for the movie, the South West corner was used in the training ground sequences, as it still boasts the original 1970s entrance.

Leeds United period signage was replicated to complete the authentic look.

Other Leeds spots which made it into the film include Headingley Stadium, the former site of Cookridge Hospital and a linen hire firm in Armley.
