He plays football around the clock – at the park, on the way to school, at lunchtimes and even in his bedroom until his mum tells him off.

But Charlie has a problem: he can’t run very far. He has plenty of skill but his poorly lungs stop him from sprinting.

And as an 11-year-old boy planning to become the Golden Boot winner at the World Cup, that’s an issue.

Then one day a freak accident presents Charlie with a unique goal-scoring gift – it means he can’t miss.

But can Charlie convince his local team Hall Park to give him the chance and use his new skill to deadly effect?

Or will the nasty bullies from his school keep him stuck on the sidelines?
