  • Synopsis:

    The possibility of sex with a football player is a fantasy for many women and a reality for some. Footy Chicks explores the scene off the footy field - a colourful world of sex, male bonding and the women who pursue them. Both the women and the players candidly reveal how it can be a fun, alluring and sometimes dangerous game.
