With Liverpool FC the subject of recent news stories and sale, the timing is perfect for a film in which the club plays a key role. Enter Lindy Heymann's Kicks, a 2009 feature getting its first UK DVD release next month from New Wave Films.

Nicole (Kerrie Hayes) is an introverted Liverpudlian teenager who has been all but deserted by her parents, with a mother distractedly working nights and a father who has settled with a new family elsewhere. She spends time hanging around the gates of Anfield and the Melwood training ground, desperate for a glimpse of her idol, star midfielder Lee Cassidy (Jamie Doyle). She meets aspirant WAG (a tabloid term for the wives and girlfriends of high profile footballers) Jasmine (Nichola Burley), who is from an affluent family, more glamorous and streetwise, yet the girls' shared adoration for Cassidy leads them to instantly bond. The two trawl the city and its nightspots, fantasising about a time when they might have Lee for themselves, yet when the news breaks that the footballer is a transfer target for Real Madrid, they take drastic action to prevent him from leaving.

Kicks will be released on UK DVD on 15th November 2010 by New Wave Films at the RRP of £15.99. Special features include:

• Extra Time – the Making of Kicks;
• Theatrical trailer.
