Product Description
Review
On fictional terms this isn't as successful as most of Glanville's adult novels, sports and otherwise; but he's the official commentator on soccer, no longer an exclusively British sport, and there's some instruction all along the way. . . up for Ronnie who starts off on a London schoolboys' team and then is signed on as a full pro at 17 under manager "Dirty Macintosh." For some time he's just on the Reserve team; then he gets his chance at Liverpool, does well, then blows a game and is sent back - his interest in the sport and spirit just about eliminated - when Macintosh is removed and Ron goes back in the line-up for a fairly heroic showing. Goalkeepers aren's actually that "different" from other competitors (they need to be tough and confident) and Glanville's story doesn't rise much above a documentary of a player in action, so you'll just have to rely on a certain amount of professional savvy and facility. (Kirkus Reviews)
Product Description
A glimpse into the world of a professional footballer. The story follows Ronnie Blake, a rising young goalkeeper, in his career from apprentice through injury and rejection to making it to the first team and the thrill of running onto the pitch in front of a roaring Cup Final crowd.
