      About This Book

      In a way that is somewhat reminiscent of the magical movie, It's a Wonderful Life, this story relates how a talented yet troubled young soccer player has his life transformed when the ghost of a soccer legend, Sir Stanley Matthews, visits him. Spirit of the Game is a tough, heart-warming and significantly uplifting story. It seamlessly cross-pollinates fact with fiction, contrasting the more sinister elements that define the modern football culture - racism and hooliganism - with a glimpse into the more elevated influence Sir Stan brought both to life and the game he loved so dearly.
