I gave this one a warm welcome in BfK 94 when it appeared in hardback as an Antelope so it is very pleasing to see it out now in paperback. Disaster strikes the Skimpole Street Primary Schools team at every turn in the match with Stapleton Road. The multi-narrator style is well handled and soccer fans will recognise many of the characters.
