    From the author of the UK's most downloaded soccer book of 2012 and writer of the multi-award winning feature, Green Street Hooligans, comes a brand new soccer comedy.

    Best described as Fever Pitch meets Brewster's Millions, it tells the tale of Rob Cooper, self-confessed soccer fanatic and editor of the United FC fanzine, Wings Of A Sparrow, who returns from watching his team succumb to yet another defeat to discover that not only has he inherited an estate worth in excess of six million pounds, but that it has been left to him by an uncle he never knew he had.

    However, even as Rob is struggling to come to terms with these two bombshells, he is hit with another. For the estate contains ownership of an almost bankrupt professional soccer club. And the terms of the will are such that Rob will only receive his inheritance if he takes over the running of the club and manages to keep them going for the coming season. The problem is, the club concerned are the local and very bitter rivals of the club Rob and his family have passionately supported all their lives.

    But after wrestling with his conscience, and driven by his rabid wife’s desire for instant wealth, he accepts the challenge with a promise to the United faithful that he will do whatever he can to ensure that whilst his new club might survive, its fans are about to experience the most depressing season in their history!

    And so, in the full glare of the media spotlight, he sets out to do what most soccer fans could only ever dream about; humiliate their local rivals.

    The trouble is, it just doesn’t work out like that!

    Wings of a Sparrow isn't simply a tale of revenge and bitterness, it's a light-hearted story of one man, the great game, a small fortune and a season of personal discovery.
