Book 3 in my football series is very different from the first two books, The Winning Touch and The Winning Tackle, in that it is more concerned with growing up, relationships and rites of passage, although the football detail remains important. This is the story of Pandora, who previously has only been talked about but now actually makes her first appearance in person with a devastating impact. As well, the tales of the other main characters, Killer Kev, Meaty, Davo, Kirsty, Suzie, Zoe and Adriano are continued. The ground is laid for The Winning Team, the final book in the series, which will return to the style of the first two books. This time, though, the tone is darker as evil throws one of the major players into a deep crisis...
