Goal Squad: Win the Cup is now available to buy in all good bookshops and online for a very reasonable price.
The book tells the story of eight-year-old Leo James who dreams of playing in the Premier League. The Tigers’ star striker has got the skills, but not the luck.
When their season opener against the Eagles goes wrong, everything falls apart. A devastating ankle injury sidelines Leo just when his team needs him most.
His rival Olli steps up as substitute, leveling the score but leaving Tigers dangling in the relegation zone. With only three matches left to save their season and a knockout cup within reach, time is running out.
Can Leo recover before it’s too late? Will the Tigers avoid the drop? And is that a talent scout watching from the stands…?
