"I'm as good as you lot any day!"
A gang of Manchester United fans are up in London for the Cup final. They include Percy (Harry H. Corbett), a 39 year old mother's boy. When the lads end up in a stripclub Percy takes a drunken bet to chat up and sleep with Cyrenne (Diane Cilento), who he considers a lady, but the rest of the lads have clocked as a prostitute. Feeling sorry for him, (having overheard the bet), she takes him home. There he opens up to her and begins to believe that she may be the one.
Apart from Corbett's appalling northern accent, this is a charming character study, full of gentle humour, that adds a level of drama half way though, when the lady's delightful upbringing is unveiled, and we see she is in fact from an abusive Italian family.
