The Showdown that sports fans have been waiting for: what are the best underdog sports stories in cinema history? Who’s got game? Who’s your million-dollar baby? As Ben Affleck re-enters cinemas to turn the fortunes of the Bishop Hayes Tigers around, it’s time to celebrate the excellent movie trope of a team that’s hoping to break a losing streak, a fighter from the wrong side of the tracks, a champ who needs to beat all the odds. Whether fictional or real, it’s time to break away and wrestle a top ten out of you, because if you list it, they will come.
