About the

Book

Jamie’s heart seemed to be beating all through his body.
Everything depended on him.
He had to score.

Loved by Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard. Written by the ultimate football insider who knows the score. An epic tale of dreaming big and chasing glory.

Meet Jamie Johnson: football hero and TV star! When this story starts, Jamie is a talented schoolkid with a passion for football. He dreams of on-pitch stardom – but he’s got a long way to go. Goal one: to become Kingfield School’s star player. Goal two (in his dreams): to play for Hawkstone United.

But when Jamie messes up his school trial, has he missed his chance?
