The day Terry sees Julie in the gym for the first time is the day of the England vs Romania match—the latest of the Great English Disasters—and the day his father announces that he's going to walk out. Things couldn't be worse. Only they could. Gorgeous Julie is a Liverpool fan. Even if he could summon up the courage to speak to her, Terry has a problem. This is Terry's diary as he tries to cope simultaneously with his first love, the unexpected break-up of his parent's marriage, and the traumas of the Beautiful Game. A lighthearted, fast-paced, bang-up-to-the-minute, and totally credible account of a 15-year-old boy who worries that he looks like Chris Evans.

Alan Gibbons is a prolific author, an infant school teacher and the father of four children. He lives in Liverpool and much of his writing stems from his involvement with inner-city children. He is an extremely popular speaker and visitor to schools and libraries, with a lot to say about children - particularly boys - and reading.
Terry is a 15-year old English boy from a working-class family who falls head over heels for Julie, a stunning beauty, who also happens to be a fan of Liverpool, archrival of his beloved Manchester United. To add to Terry's troubles, his dad sees greener grass in other pastures and moves out. In a story full of teenaged angst, Terry pursues Julie and attempts to work things out with his father. Stephen Tompkinson is a splendid narrator. He portrays each character convincingly with working-class accents. The many Briticisms add character to a delightfully read story.
