Somebody out there is planning to make a film about the life and times of one Jermaine Lloyd Pennant.
Indeed, the 33-year-old ex-Liverpool winger has given his blessing to ‘From The Streets’, a biopic that is set to chart his rise from The Meadows estate in Nottingham to the Singapore Premier League.
The documentary will be produced by Sheridan Demyers of Running Films, who told The Sun:
We were working on a football project about a kid from the inner city that signs for a big club etc but when we heard Pennant’s story and read excerpts from his book we were all blown away.
His story is incredible, unbelievable in fact. The movie is currently in pre-production and we will starting filming in the summer.
According to Demyers, ‘From The Streets’ will not only focus on Pennant’s career but on his personal life too, including his multiple run-ins with the law over the years.
We can only hope the bit where he forgot about his £98,000 Porsche and accidentally left it in a train station car-park in Zaragoza for five months makes it in there.
