This is the first book in an action-packed football series from the bestselling sports writer Michael Hardcastle, following the dramas and excitements of the close knit cast of characters whose lives revolve around Goal Kings JFC.

Off-pitch, an ambitious parent launches a secret plot to have the coach Sam Saxton replaced and the tension peaks when the most important game of the season ends in a penalty shoot-out.
