Jamie Johnson is a kid with a dream. A dream and a talent which could take him all the way to the very top. It’s a story about handling your parents (or lack of them) and getting through school with your friendships and soul intact. And it’s about football; the mud, the blood, the passion, the tears and the jumpers for goalposts on a Sunday in the park when you play with every fibre of your being and nothing else matters.
