Sonia Mullett Piece
North West London is the setting for this cheerful portrait of Isthmian League team, Hendon FC. Narrated by Dave Garner, who dresses up as the club's mascot, Monty the Lamb, the film features 'Soft like Me' from Saint Etienne's album Finisterre. The club's motto Possunt Quia Posse Videntur ('They Can Because They Think They Can') is a good indication of the pride and positivity of Dave and the team he represents - attributes underscored here by the dynamic editing of the closing sequence and the up-tempo Saint Etienne track 'Are We Gonna Be Alright?' from the 1999 album Built on Sand.

The film was included in Saint Etienne's
A London Trilogy - The Films Of Saint Etienne 2003-2007 DVD which was released on Jul 15, 2013.
