Everybody's Second Team

About This Movie

So, 'Everybody's Second Team' is a neat piece, really. It dives into West Ham United's history, particularly during a time when they were known for this cheeky attacking football style. The animation is done in a comic-book style, which adds this playful yet nostalgic vibe. You get to hear from key players and those who were part of that transition under John Lyall. The pacing is relaxed, letting the stories breathe, which feels right for a documentary about football’s legacy. You can tell there’s a strong sense of camaraderie and pride in the way they discuss their journey. It's a unique blend of documentary and animation that captures the spirit of a club's evolution.
