What it’s about. Roy Brush has aspirations to be a great footballer and this seems likely when he scores for England in the European Cup Final. To add to this he becomes a national hero, having seemingly saved a young lad from drowning. But Roy has a secret - he is gay - and the editor of the scurrilous 'Scum' tabloid is making it his business to out him. However, with the help of his manager, Roy can triumph at an inspirational climactic football match, where his tears touch the heart of the nation - and pundit Jimmy Twizzle gets very high on mushroom tea.
Who’s in it. The Crying Game stars Keith Allen as Roy Brush, Nigel Planer as Club Chairman/Waiter, William Armstrong as Sports Presenter and Mark Caven as Dick Wibbly.
