I was in "When Saturday Comes"
Yes, the crap film about Sheffield United. I was bout 13. My dad signed the family up for this 'extras' list in The City. We got a call to be in a funeral scene. I thought I was great at acting upset but didn't think to leave my high vis bomber jacket at home and they made me take it off.

Sean Bean was a hundred yards or so away, filming a separate scene next to a skip. I was under the impression he was cool then, because he was a bit famous. This was, up to that point, probably the most exciting day of my life. We all stood around the freshly dug grave in Tinsley Park Cemetary doing our best at looking horrified, then suddenly an old woman - also an extra - came and stood right in front of me. I didn't do anything and so was immortalised in the film as an arm and a bit of black jumper.

You can see my mum and dad though and anyway, I got some bacon sandwiches and £25!
