The fifth in an action packed eight book football series from bestselling children's writer Alan Gibbons.
The Rough Diamonds are a close knit team. Kev McGovern, their captain, makes sure they work hard and play hard.
Right now, John O'Hara feels he's on the verge of losing everything. His family is about to break up. He's dumbstruck when he finds out that his Mum is seeing his teacher, and Dad...well the less said the better. John feels lonely and insecure; none of this is helping his street cred with the lads, and worse still his form on the pitch is really suffering.
