The day Terry sees Julie in the gym for the first time is the day of the England vs Romania match—the latest of the Great English Disasters—and the day his father announces that he's going to walk out. Things couldn't be worse. Only they could. Gorgeous Julie is a Liverpool fan. Even if he could summon up the courage to speak to her, Terry has a problem. This is Terry's diary as he tries to cope simultaneously with his first love, the unexpected break-up of  his parent's marriage, and the traumas of the Beautiful Game. A lighthearted, fast-paced, bang-up-to-the-minute, and totally credible account of a 15-year-old boy who worries that he looks like Chris Evans.
