A moving story combining war and football: the game with the ability to link nations and generations
‘Told with all the author’s open-hearted clarity, and richly illustrated’ Philip Pullman
Billy’s no kid – he’s eighty today. And this afternoon he’ll be cheering on his team, Chelsea, as he has done all his life.
In 1939, Billy was picked for Chelsea. Not quite nineteen, and his dreams had already come true. But later that year the Second World War would begin, and would transform Billy’s life again – along with everyone else’s – forever . . .
