Another in the popular football series which is highly entertaining with its true to life mixture of disappointment and triumph. Chris's promising talent prompts his selection for team mascot by Selworth FC but, disastrously, he suffers a twisted ankle hours before he's needed. Andrew, with credible brotherly bluntness, is less than sympathetic, but a compromise is reached and the episode ends happily. Grandad supplies relentless support throughout, and characters and relationships are totally believable.
