Talented fifteen-year-old Sam dreams of becoming a professional soccer player, but the road to success isn t as easy as what he thinks.
How did Harry Kewell do it? That s what Sam wants to know. How did he handle being called a hot shot by his team-mates? Sam bets Harry s coach never benched him for winning the game single-handedly! And what about Harry s dad? Did he think soccer was for sissies too?
Things are getting too tough for Sam to handle, until he meets Manuel Luque, an ex-professional English soccer player. At last there s someone on his side! But even though Manuel s got the contacts, the news isn t all good.
Just what does it take for a young Aussie soccer star to realise his dream?
