Bad Boys

Sometimes - to survive - you have to FIGHT!

Each year, City FC - known as 'the Hawks' - take on a group of thirteen-year-olds for the first tier of their special soccer school: training sessions in the evenings and weekends for truly talented players who are aiming to become professional players. It's a glamorous, exciting future for the few who succeed - with huge rewards. But the failure rate is also high - BAD BOYS, the second in the series, highlights a conflict between two players who want to play in the same position: Ben, who wants to be accepted as 'one of the lads', even if it means behaving badly; and Lee, who fights to make his own decisions, only to realize he's made the wrong choices...

Reviews

Good locker-room-and-pitch drama about growing up and vying for status in the football team and at home

—— TES

This is a great read . . .What makes it so readable is that it could be the story of any talented youngster who is striving to make it in the hard, money-dominated world of professional soccer!

—— Brentford, Chiswick and Isleworth Times

He makes a tale of adventure a handbook to adventure
