Terry McConnell is desperate for his 10-year-old son, Malky, to get a trial for Bolton Wanderers - so desperate that Malky misses a training session. And, even though he is joint leading scorer, Malky is dropped from Ashburn United's league decider. Terry moves heaven and earth to persuade coach Tom Blackley to relent and play Malky from the start - but Tom's blood pressure is rising fast.

With Coach Blackley in hospital recovering from his seizure, Terry McConnell reckons he's all but got the job as Ashburn United coach. But fitness coach Dr. Kaskar has designs on the job too. The wheeling and dealing begins, and Terry and Kaskar begin to resemble Obama and Clinton in their attempts to lobby Ashburn United owner Sandra Farrell.

EP3 Episode 3 Sep 04, 2008

The dishy Frenchman Raymond Mercier is appointed as coach, much to the delight of Debbie who immediately sees romantic possibilities, but to the dismay of Terry and Kaskar. Yet more dismay is to follow, however, as Vincent Farrell, Sandra's husband and the local undertaker, informs his wife they are unable to sponsor the Ashes' trip to Birmingham. It looks like the long-awaited trip will have to be cancelled unless Terry can raise the funds in time.

The Under 11s Cup in Birmingham brings out the best in the team and the worst in their parents. Single mum Debbie's attempts to snare coach Mercier are put on hold when Terry's best mate Fourbellies reports that Mercier is gay. Janice goes ballistic when she discovers her secret cash stash is missing. Terry half-heartedly joins in the search for the money, but he's more concerned with the whereabouts of Bolton scout Geoff Hinchcliffe, who still hasn't turned up to see Malky play.

EP6 Episode 6 Sep 25, 2008

Terry hijacks his boss's car and speeds back home to plead with Bolton scout Hinchcliffe to watch Malky play in Birmingham.

Can Malky McConnell score and answer both Ashburn United's and Terry's prayers?

Reviews

beresfordjd I loathe football (Soccer to you Yanks)as I find it overrated, boring and assumes an importance in peoples' lives far beyond its actual value. That said I just love this series which is built around "the beautiful game" as played by a minor junior team. All the actors do a wonderful job of fleshing out their characters. I think the main guy(sorry I know no names) is terrific and the Asian gynaecologist (don't ask) is wonderful too. It works in much the same way as The Office did with realistic situations and performances. Sharp writing and clever direction more than support their efforts. I will be glued to this series until its end. Brilliant and very very funny.
