Sinopse

Tom Palmer’s bestselling WWl novel, based on the true story of war hero and footballing legend Jack Cock. 
It's the proudest moment of Jack's life – his debut as a professional footballer. Now he has a chance to achieve his dream of playing for his country. But it's 1914 and the world is at war. Talk of sportsmen's cowardice leads to the formation of a Footballers' Battalion and Jack has little choice but to join up. The promise of a Cup in Flanders offers a glimmer of hope, but Jack and his teammates will have to survive a waking nightmare if they are ever to play again. 
In this Sunday Times bestselling book, Jack's journey from the soccer field to the battlefield is a riveting adventure that will captivate both young adult and teenage readers. The historical context adds depth to the action, making it a must-read for those interested in both sports and military stories. 
For fans of T.Z. Layton (The Academy IV), Dan Freedman (Jamie Johnson), Jeff Kinney (No Brainer), Martin Smith (The Football Superstar), and Marta Kissi (The Friend Dilemma).
