Ellie Bamber swaps Wimbledon chic for a floral-print top and West Ham scarf as she films one of football’s craziest ever tales

She was the picture of polished chic when she stepped out at Wimbledon with her Danish actor boyfriend earlier this month.

But as these exclusive photos show, Ellie Bamber swapped the glamor of SW19 for the less glamorous surroundings of East London as she filmed her latest film, which retells one of football’s strangest true stories.

Halftime Hero tells the story of devoted West Ham supporter Steve Davies being ushered onto the pitch from the Upton Park terraces to score a goal for his favorite team.

Ellie, who recently played Kate Moss in Moss & Freud, was filming her scenes with Mobland’s Anson Boon, 26, who plays Davies.

Wearing faded denim shorts over fishnets leggingsDressed in a floral top and Doc Marten boots, Ellie, 29, was seen walking around hand-in-hand with Boon before gently draping a West Ham scarf around Boon’s shoulders.

Davies’ remarkable story went down in the history of the club and football.

In a pre-season friendly against Oxford City in 1994, Davies, then 27 and working as a courier, spent the first half of the match near West Ham’s dugout and directed a series of abuse towards striker Lee Chapman.

His tirade caught the attention of the club’s then assistant manager, Harry Redknapp, who suggested Davies take Chapman’s place on the pitch at half-time.

He did so and scored in West Ham’s 4-0 win. Years later Redknapp remembered Davies as the ‘tattooed skinhead’ who gave Chapman the ‘terrible stick’.

‘At half-time I turned to this guy with the West Ham picture carved on his neck and said, ‘Can you play as well as you talk?’ I asked.

I told him he would realize his dream of playing for West Ham. We sent him into the tunnel and ten minutes later he emerged again with all his work done.’ Redknapp told reporters covering the match that his unlikely assistant was ‘the great Bulgarian Tittyshev’.

Davies once described it as ‘the best moment in my life’. And after he scored, he said, ‘I’m tired.’ At that time I was smoking 30 cigarettes a day. ‘I had a few cigarettes and a few beers in the first half, didn’t I?’

Bamber attended Wimbledon earlier this month with Oliver Overgaard Reichhardt, whom she has been dating for a year.
