WHAT'S THE STORY?
Jo and Andy, two ordinary kids from Liverpool are about to be pulled into an incredible journey across time and space, with the future of the beautiful game in two worlds at stake!
Andy Bellew, the 10 (nearly 11) year old rogue, cares more about escaping his broken home and completing his Spider-man comic collection than his reputation as a nuisance and a thief. Teenager Joanne “Jo” Johnson wants nothing more than a half decent football team to play for and to watch her beloved Kenny Dalglish-led Liverpool FC win the League and Cup double. However, on a trip down to London for the FA Cup Semi Final (Jo), and the Westminster Comic Mart (Andy), the pair are accidentally thrown twenty years back in time to 1966. Tossed right into the middle of the mysterious Man In Black’s plot to steal the World Cup Trophy the kids, along with their new friend from another universe, the football obsessed Fedora, must recover the Jules Rimet trophy and restore the timeline before the future of football (and Kenny’s Reds!!) are lost forever.
The Special Edition also contains bonus behind the scene materials charting the book's creation.
