New boy Shane Logan has a temper, but he's also a talented goalie.
When Peter and his friends invite Shane to join their football
team, he delivers a star performance in the first match. But
Shane's not the only one who makes an impression. Hanging over him
like a shadow is his dad, Mick, who yells orders and insults from
the sidelines. What is Mick's problem? And why does Shane seem
afraid of him? The more Peter gets to know Shane, the more he
worries that something is wrong - and that Shane's not as tough as
he seems. A thought-provoking football story accompanied by
fascinating facts about famous goalies and the history of
goalkeeping from reluctant-reader favourite Alan Gibbons.

posted himself to freedom.
