Defenders

‘WHO WANTS TO WATCH OTHER PEOPLE SCORE ALL THE GOALS?’Chris is a goalscorer – but his life is a mess. He’s falling out with everyone: his dad, his teachers, even his best mate. The only thing that akes him feel good is banging the ball into the back of the net. He certainly doesn’t want to play in defence – even if his school team does need defenders.Ian Rawson is Chris’s new neighbour. An ex-Premier League defender, he’s absolute magic on the pitch, in total control of the game . . . When Chris sees Ian play, he starts to wonder. Has he got it all wrong about defenders? And if he changes his mind, will there still be a place for him in the team?]]>
