"Saving Albion is a smart script with good pacing...heightened drama at the right points, and funny, poignant moments at others" 
"There are a lot of set ups and payoffs throughout the script that were great callbacks...The ending is really strong..."


 (Feedback with thanks to Bluecat Screenplay Competition)

Synopsis:  
​The once-great Albion United is less than two weeks from going bust. A three-man delegation comprising: their optimistic PR Chief (English), playboy star striker (Irish) and pessimistic accountant (Scottish) is urgently dispatched to the World Cup to find a filthy-rich buyer who will save the club from extinction.


Whilst on paper this ‘dream team’ would appear to have all bases covered, they prove to be much less than the sum of their parts. Just like the infuriating England World Cup team, in fact.

The similarity doesn’t end there, as their results off the pitch ebb and flow in an imperfect sync with those of the inconsistent ‘Three Lions’ on it. 

So when England suffers their ultimate knockout blow, what price our mis-matched trio snatching the unlikeliest victory from the snapping jaws of defeat?
