What's black, white and red all over? Me, Jack Wilson, after another humiliating defeat.
I'm Hodgson Football Club's newest player - and supposedly their best. The only problem? Hodgson can't stop losing. So why won't they make me captain? My teammates don't take me seriously, and the coach keeps waiting for someone else to save the team.
I train harder than anyone. I've even ditched chocolate. But the more I push, the less I fit in. How far will I go for that armband - and what if it costs me the only thing I really want: to be part of a team?
