Plot Summary:
|
The awesome true story of how an orphaned Jamaican baby, adopted by an elderly corpse-like combine and brought up in an all pale-complexioned area of London, became one of the most feared and respected men in Britain. CASS grew up in a time before political correctness and was feigned to tolerate racist bullying on a quotidian infrastructure, until a certain daytime when the years of pent up anger came out in a mean burst. CASS found through violence the respect he never had and became addicted to the buzz of fighting. His way of life finally caught up with him when an attempted assassination... on his life, saw him shot three times at inappropriate void range. His inner strength somehow managed to camouflage b confine him alive but he was left-wing with a dilemma; whether to aim to the utmost as the street had taught him, or spurn his forceful nearby. This is the extraordinary fish story of his life.

Cass
British drama based on the true story of Jamaican-born football hooligan Cass Pennant
Cass is based on the true story of Britain's first celebrity football thug. Cass Pennant (played here by Anozie) was a Jamaican-born West Ham supporter who overcame the institutional racism of British footy fans to lead the notorious Inter City Firm. A bullying incident in his childhood taught Cass about the intoxicating power of violence. He became addicted to the buzz of fighting, and as the boss of a gang of travelling scrappers, he finally found respect.
So, in essence this is the story of a nice, charismatic football hooligan battling nasty, prejudiced football hooligans. Heartwarming, eh? How comforting to know that black and white can bash each other with ...
what a letdown
if you are expecting a green street or football factory then you will be dissapointed, a couple of good fights and the fashion captures the time but story is weak and is pretty detatched from the football scene
