Ages 9-12 years "Imagine it Jim - champions of the world. That'd be
alright wouldn't it" Growing up in the North of England in the
1930's, Jimmy Evans and his best friend Stan share a burning
ambition to play for England in the World Cup. After years of hard
work, and against the odds, it seems like their dream may even come
true as they are tipped for a call up to the national team.
However, a terrible new war is brewing. When Jimmy and Stan are
finally asked to represent their country, it will be in the skies
of Europe and not on the football pitch.
Best friends Shay and Frankie, and their team AC United, are back
for another football season, another year older, and eager for a
win... The duo soon realise that nothing ever stays the same, and
change is a part of life whether they like it or not - both on and
off the pitch. With new team members, the threat of losing their
precious home turf, and changes afoot in their family lives too,
can the boys work together to stay on track... and keep winning?
And, of course, who will be crowned Baller Boy this season?
