Synopsis:

A feel-good British comedy in a similar vein to The Full Monty & Bend it like Beckham with a nod to Slumdog Millionaire, released on DVD 13th May 2013 The Cowboys are a local Sunday soccer team who always seem to finish bottom of the league. Now, they've finally run out of money and after losing yet another match they do what they always do to drown their sorrows - go to the pub and head off for an Indian. Barred from every Indian restaurant in town due to their bad behaviour, there's only the Taj Tandoori left to go for the Cowboys last team meal. When it comes to paying the bill the realization of not having enough money finally hits home but instead of calling the Police the owner offers the Cowboys a sponsorship deal they just can't refuse. Financing the team to keep it going the Cowboys in exchange must work as waiters in his restaurant, rename the team the Taj Cowboys and sport a ridiculous new football strip. Unknown to the Cowboys the restaurateur is really using them as security against a local racketeer run by a psychotic gangster known only as American Bob (Robert Vaughn). Reasoning with American Bob only leads to more misery and destruction but when the chips are down the Cowboys and the Indians form the most unlikely of alliances as they take on American Bob and his mighty bandits head on. Together they'll prove that... Eleven united can never be defeated.

The Cowboys, overweight and over the hill, are the worst football team in South London, lurching from one defeat to another. Captain Dave sees the chance of lucrative sponsorship when his daughter Jodie gets a high-flying job with an American company but this is dependent on a good performance. Sensible Larry meanwhile secures sponsorship from the Taj, the worst Indian restaurant in town, in exchange for the team working shifts there. However owner Ajay has been using them in the hopes they will scare off a protection mob led by gangster American Bob. As Jodie falls for Ajay's son Ramesh Bob's hoodlums try to frighten away the lads by making them strip nude and using their clothes to burn down their changing hut. But when news reaches them that the hoods intend to set fire to the Taj, with Ajay and his wife inside, they rise to the occasion, proving that they are truly the Magnificent Eleven.

A modernization of the classic western in which the Cowboys are a struggling local amateur soccer team, the Indians run a nearby Tandoori restaurant and the bandits are a group of menacing thugs led by a maniac known simply as 'American Bob'.
