But in an unexpected way. Betting company Paddy Power - which operates both online and on the high street - pulls out the nostalgia stops with a witty one-minute campaign that should appeal to film and football buffs alike. The former England footballer famed for his height (6'7" / 2.01 m) and referee Mark Clattenburg feature in a pacey parody patchwork aimed at capturing all the passion of 'the beautiful game' through seductive allusions to films including 'American Beauty' and 'Dirty Dancing'. What do you think? Spot-on fun from a gambling outfit already famed for clever / controversial ads? Or not? The suggestive visuals and gently sexualised commentary encourage viewers to 'Love Football. Intimately.' Job done? Fun watch for most even if you don't care two hoots about football and don't know the movies involved.
