Football Academy

Captain Fantastic Book 6




Stay on the ball this season with Football Academy!

The fifth book in the fast-paced Football Academy series.

James has been a junior player at United for a long time. Everyone expects him to follow in his dad's footsteps and play for England one day. But James isn't so sure. He has something he wants to do even more than football. Something that means he would have to give up football. The problem is he doesn't want to disappoint his dad. At a tournament in London, where he is pitched against Arsenal and Chelsea players, James finally makes his mind up.
