Derek is a dreamer and a loser. His failed get rich quick schemes and scams have got him into debt and put a strain on his already fragile marriage. His wife Kym has had enough and demands he gives up all his crazy ideas and face his responsibilities or face the consequences. He heeds the warning and ends his pathetic attempts of making millions.
Just when Kym thinks he has come to his senses Derek has another crazy idea driven by his love of American Football. He decides to form his own team in Crewe, Cheshire, England. He encounters ridicule from every corner of his life but he is determined to succeed. Despite knowing nothing about the game and still deep in debt he manages to scrape together the funds to buy himself the required equipment.
On a cold November morning eleven ordinary British blokes turn up to try out for the newly formed team and the Crewe Railroaders were born. Somehow Derek bluffs his way through and becomes a self imposed Owner. Over the weeks the team grows. A Black African American called James becomes the new coach, however he knows nothing about American Football!! The team physio Ted knows nothing about injuries, the cheerleaders haven’t got a clue how to dance or cheer.
Follow the hilarious exploits of this bunch of beer drinking British blokes and Dereks quest to succeed at all costs even at the expense of everything he holds dear to him.
