Fans of the film Mike Bassett: England Manager are being given the opportunity to appear in the sequel to the cult comedy.
The team behind Mike Bassett: Interim Manager, which will see Ricky Tomlinson reprise his role as the inept Three Lions boss, have turned to the crowdfunding website Kickstarter.
They want to raise £250,000 to help ensure the film is finished, and there are a number of rewards on offer for those who pledge cash.
Those who donate £5 will get an audio thank you message from Tomlinson and a series of audio clips from the first film.
Other rewards include: being featured as an extra, seeing your name on the back of a player's shirt in the film, a day on set and tickets to the film's premiere.
But the biggest incentive on offer for donating is a speaking part in the film, which is open to the first five people to pledge £5,000.
Director Steve Barron said: "I had such a great time making the first movie, and watching Bassett become such a football icon over the years has been wonderful.
"With the Germans dominating football again, we brainstormed a really fun idea and it felt right to bring him back. We can't wait to get started.
"It's the passion of the fans that convinced us a Bassett return is welcome and that's why we're looking to create a film that is partially fan-funded via Kickstarter."
Tomlinson said it was an "easy decision" to play the fictional England boss again.
"Who wouldn't want to be England manager without all the stress of actually having the job?
"Whenever I speak to football fans there's such affection for Bassett that it's hard to ignore the demand.
"The Kickstarter element is a brilliant way of getting people involved in the film. It's a football film for football fans so it's great to recreate the same collectiveness you see on the terraces in a movie."
The team hopes to raise the money before 20 November, with filming set to begin in March.
If all goes to plan, the film could be released in early 2016.
The original film saw Bassett improbably lead England to the semi-finals of the World Cup, but the sequel reveals that since then he has fallen on hard times after a series of ill-fated career moves.
But when England's German manager takes up another job just weeks before the World Cup, Bassett answers his country's call once again, stepping up from assistant to become interim manager.
