One Shot at Glory

by PJ Davitt

Overview

Dave must confront the dark side to the beautiful game. The one the rest of us never see.
The professional contract and big time beckoned for Wolston's teen hotshot. Until it happened.
A serious ankle injury turns the striker's world upside down. Now he must convince Rovers' tough academy chief, Rob Duncan, he deserves a scholarship and that once-in-a-lifetime chance to pull on the shirt of the team he’s adored for as long as he’s loved soccer.
Dave has 90 minutes to prove he can be part of Wolston’s future in the biggest match of his life. But above all he needs to convince himself he still has what it takes to survive in a cut-throat world where only the very best ever get a shot at stardom.
