Jimmy
Muir (Sean Bean) comes from a typical gritty, northern
town with only two options: working down the pit, or in a
factory. But Jimmy has other ideas - he dreams of being a
professional footballer.
Encouraged by his girlfriend Annie (Emily Lloyd), he
plays every week for the local amateur team. But when he
is spotted by local talent scout Ken (Pete Postlewaite),
Jimmy finally has the chance to fulfil his life's
ambition.
Confronted by a
bitter and unsupportive father, hard-drinking friends,
and a lifetime of bad habits...............
has Jimmy the will to
achieve his ultimate goal?
