How did a wartime prison-camp football match become one of cinema's most beloved sporting stories — and just how great were the Allies of Escape to Victory?Season 5 of By Far The Greatest Team continues with the ultimate meeting of football and film: Escape to Victory.Jamie Rooney and Graham Dunn are joined by John Smith, author of Escape: A Love Letter to a Cult Football Classic, for an affectionate deep dive into the making, mythology and enduring appeal of a film they have loved since childhood.John explains how that love became a two-year research project, uncovering the remarkable stories behind the production and the extraordinary collection of actors and footballers brought together to make it.The story begins with the history, legends and earlier films that helped inspire Escape to Victory, before moving through its lengthy journey to the screen and into the hands of legendary director John Huston.It arrived at a fascinating moment. Pelé had helped bring football unprecedented attention in the United States, Sylvester Stallone had become a global star through Rocky, and the worlds of Hollywood and international football were ready to collide.And what a cast they assembled.Michael Caine. Sylvester Stallone. Pelé. Bobby Moore. Osvaldo Ardiles. Mike Summerbee. Kazimierz Deyna. Hallvar Thoresen. John Wark. Russell Osman.Jamie, Graham and John explore how the footballers were recruited, why so many members of the Ipswich Town squad became involved, and how genuine football action was combined with actors, professional players and some remarkably effective body doubles.Along the way, they head down some classic football-history and filmmaking rabbit holes — including why winger Kevin O'Callaghan was cast as a goalkeeper, the roles played by Kevin Beattie and Paul Cooper, the characters and Jean-Paul Rémy storylines that disappearedThere is also the small matter of Stallone playing in goal, Pelé designing the football sequences, Michael Caine attempting to look like an international-class defender and a half-time escape plan being abandoned because the Allies suddenly fancied their chances of completing the comeback.The episode then turns its attention to the fictional Allied XI.A team containing Pelé, Moore, Ardiles, Deyna, Summerbee and Thoresen surely possesses a touch of greatness — but can a hastily assembled collection of ageing internationals, prisoners of war and one extremely unconventional goalkeeper really be considered a great team?Jamie and Graham examine the players, the balance of the side, their performance against Germany and the cultural legacy of football's most famous fictional team before deciding where the Allies belong in the pantheon of greatness.Style of PlayManaged from the pitch by John Colby, the Allied side combines experience, improvisation, individual brilliance and extraordinary resilience.Defensively, Bobby Moore provides composure and authority, while Luis Fernandez — played by Pelé — supplies the imagination, skill and spectacular finishing. Carlos Rey brings South American flair, Terry Brady adds energy and direct running, and the wider squad offers a wonderfully unlikely mixture of international class and prison-camp resourcefulness.Tactically, however, the Allies are less convincing.They are underprepared, unbalanced and initially overwhelmed by a younger, fitter and far better-organised German side. Their goalkeeper has never previously played in goal, their star forward is carrying an injury, and their player-manager appears to be developing the tactical plan while the match is taking place.But when the stakes are at their highest, individual talent and collective spirit take over.The result is a side built less upon tactical sophistication than courage, defiance, improvisation and the irresistible demands of the Hollywood comeback.

On this episode of the STL Bucket List Show, we sit down with Luke and Kevin Beattie, the father-and-son team behind Fox's Finest Market, to talk about bringing a historic Kirkwood storefront back to life and building a business centered around family, quality food, and community.Luke and Kevin share how their journey began in the automotive industry before taking an unexpected leap into hospitality. They discuss why they believed Kirkwood needed a neighborhood fine foods market, the story behind restoring an 1875 building, and what it's been like building a business together across generations.The conversation dives into their vision for sourcing fresh seafood, premium meats, locally raised pork, imported specialty foods, and chef-prepared meals—all while creating a welcoming neighborhood market where customers can shop, learn, and gather. They also reflect on the challenges of renovating a historic building, working alongside local businesses, and creating a company they hope will serve the Kirkwood community for generations to come.From entrepreneurship and family business to great food and small-town community, this episode is a conversation about building something designed to last.They discuss: - Why Luke and Kevin left the automotive industry to launch Fox's Finest Market - The inspiration behind opening a neighborhood fine foods market in Kirkwood - Restoring a historic 1875 building in the heart of downtown Kirkwood - What it's really like working together as a father-and-son business - Bringing in fresh seafood, premium steaks, and Missouri-raised pork - Building an in-house kitchen with chef-prepared meals, pastries, and seasonal specialties - Curating local products alongside imported gourmet foods - The importance of customer service and creating a true neighborhood market - Supporting and collaborating with other Kirkwood small businesses - Their vision for making Fox's Finest a multi-generational St. Louis institution - Future plans for catering, e-commerce, and expanding the Fox's Finest conceptSupport the show
