Charlie Fry is football mad. He sleeps wearing his team's full kit and dreams of scoring the winning goal in an FA Cup final. He plays football around the clock - at the park, on the way to school, at lunchtimes and even in his bedroom until his mum tells him off. But Charlie has a problem: he can't run very far - due to cystic fibrosis. He has plenty of skill but his poor lungs stop him from sprinting. But a freak accident gives Charlie the ability to score goals, but will the local team give him a chance or will the school bullies keep him stuck on the sidelines?
