In celebration of the ongoing European championships, we look at two football films where people find themselves through the sport. This week is the turn of the Gurinder Chadha behemoth, Bend It Like Beckham and the Tom Hooper-helmed Michael Sheen film about Brian Clough, The Damned United.

Timings for this week are:

Bend It Like Beckham (04:19)

The Damned United (29:23)
