British American football film

I am looking for the name of a film I once saw, and was wondering if anyone on this forum can help.

It was a TV movie about A British American football team. It was made in the late 80s during the american football fad the uk went through.

The plot was that an american guy was brought in to coach the team. I think the coach was played by Mac McDonnald but I could be wrong.

The film ends with them playing a game with a team of US army soldiers.

The only other thing I remember was that there was a guy who's nick name was Jabba the Hutt.

I have been looking all over the net for this film. Anyone know what its called?

thank you

Thats it. thanks very much. Been looking for this for years

I remember a very similar movie from my childhood days. The Italian film Bulldozer: a bunch of Italian losers has to play a game of American football against a team of G.I.s. The training scenes are very funny and the Italians win the bet (to score at least one point) in the end.
