"The Football Factory" is a 2004 English film directed by Nick Love and stars Danny Dyer and Frank Harper. It is based on the popular novel of the same name by John King.

The film is the first foray into film-making by video game producers Rockstar Games, credited as Executive Producers.

Plot

"The Football Factory" focuses on two firms, namely the Headhunters, who support Chelsea F.C., and the Bushwackers, who support Millwall F.C. Throughout the movie, the Headhunters fight with other English firms such as those supporting Tottenham Hotspur F.C., Liverpool F.C., and Stoke City F.C..

The film focuses on Tommy Johnston (Dyer), a football hooligan in his mid 20's, who has begun to question his morals and the morals of those around him. Tommy's major conflict in the film stems from his inevitable ageing. Although he loves his weekend 'meets', he knows he cannot possibly play forever.

While enjoying a night out with his pal Rod, they meet a couple of young women in a bar and both end up back at one of the girls' houses. In the morning, Tommy awakes to a man sitting over him with a knife against his throat. Rod arrives at the scene, hits the man over the head, and they both are able to run home alive. The man with the knife is revealed to be Milwall Fred's (Hassan) brother, who begins to track down Tommy.
