The Football Boy Wonder by Martin Smith

The Football Boy Wonder by Martin Smith

Charlie Fry is football mad. He sleeps wearing his team's full kit and dreams of scoring the winning goal in the FA Cup final.

He plays football around the clock - at the park, on the way to school, at lunchtimes and even in his bedroom until his mum tells him off.

But Charlie has a problem: he can't run very far. He has plenty of skill but his poorly lungs stop him from sprinting.

And as an 11-year-old boy planning to become the Golden Boot winner at the World Cup, that's an issue.

Then one day a freak accident presents Charlie with a unique goal-scoring gift - it means he can't miss.

But can Charlie convince his local team Hall Park to give him the chance and use his new skill to deadly effect?

Or will the nasty bullies from his school keep him stuck on the sidelines?

Smith, Martin: - Dr Martin Smith is Senior Lecturer in Forensic and Biological Anthropology at the University of Bournemouth. Martin Smith is a Biological Anthropologist with particular interests in prehistoric populations. His past work has covered a range of periods with particular focus on the Neolithic and concerned principally on areas of taphonomy and trauma with relevance to both forensic and archaeological remains. Martin has strong interests in the study of conflict from prehistoric to modern times. A question that continues to fascinate him is the extent to which war /organized conflict is 'hard-wired' in human beings rather than simply a practical response to environmental or social circumstances. His current research includes experimentation with weapons such as crossbows, blackpowder weapons and modern firearms on animal bone and synthetic substitutes for human bone.
