Marching Powder is a movie starring Danny Dyer as a middle-aged, drug-addicted football hooligan who is facing a long stint in prison if he fails to get his life in order. The comedy-drama sees former EastEnders and Rivals star Danny reunited with The Football Factory and The Business director Nick Love and once again thrust into the world of intense rivalry, adrenaline-fuelled violence and addiction.
Danny Dyer's character Jack Jones is warned by a judge that he faces jail unless he curbs his antisocial behaviour but he struggles to resist the pull of his fellow football fans and mates. However, he faces losing his family as well as his freedom if he can’t put his past behind him.

Marching Powder plot
Marching Powder is set in the world of the 2004 cult classic movie The Football Factory, and be warned there's pretty strong language used throughout. The story follows Jack Jones as he indulges in drug-taking and football-related violence on a regular basis. He feels increasingly irrelevant in today’s society and turns to antisocial behavior to make his mark on the world. Then, Jack is arrested after some outrageous match-day exploits and is told he has six weeks to either fix up or face jail. Jack tries to get his life back on track while juggling his marriage, son, mates, a father-in-law who wants to kill him and his unhinged brother-in-law. But soon his world begins to spiral out of control. Can he overcome his inner demons or is he destined to go to prison?

I'm a huge fan of television so I really have found the perfect job, as I've been writing about TV shows, films and interviewing major television, film and sports stars for over 25 years. I'm currently TV Content Director on What's On TV, TV Times, TV and Satellite Week magazines plus Whattowatch.com. I previously worked on Woman and Woman's Own in the 1990s. Outside of work I swim every morning, support Charlton Athletic football club and get nostalgic about TV shows Cagney & Lacey, I Claudius, Dallas and Tenko. I'm totally on top of everything good coming up too.
