This is a terrific story of a young Latino boy, who spotted by an ex-scout, playing in a park in Los Angeles, wins himself a trial at one of England's Premier League clubs - Newcastle United. Struggling to cope with the gritty Northern weather, the rivalries and jealousies from other players and dodgy scouts, he has just this one shot at fulfilling his dream. He has the skill, but does he have the pace and stamina necessary for success? This is a riveting tale of one underdog, the first of three fantastic football movies coming over 2005-2007.

4.0 out of 5 stars
An interesting read,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Goal (Paperback)
The author took his time in coming up with a great plot to capture his reader's attention. The story builds up well and keeps the reader waiting for the results of many of its hanging subplots. The story takes place in the future. Santiago Munez' life is fast forwarded in time, so the reader get's a glimpse of his life beyond what we know of Santiago from the last movie of this supposed trilogy, GOAL I, II, and III. But in the end, this book culminates into one great read. If I were to say anymore I'd give away the storyline.
