SPORTS MOVIES

 

At the start of 2007, in one of our monthly WSSCA club meetings, the subject of Sports Related Movies came up.  Everyone contributed to the conversation.  It was amazing how many of the movies many of us had forgotten about!   The topic finally came around to the question: "I wonder how many movies we FORGOT about".   So the gauntlet was thrown by our webmaster to the club members to email a list a we would present it on the website.  Thanks to the hard work of Bob Senior and Roy Abbett - we present this list - which we are sure is far from complete.  Feel free to email us any additions!
