Thomas Headley, new idol of the Sherwood Strikers fans, thinks he can handle the limelight, and is getting used to the attention, the offers, the photo-calls. But there's another side to being a football star, as Thomas soon discovers. The pressure mounts as media mogul Redman Forster attempts to enlist Thomas' help to oust the club's management. As a potential buy-out looms, loyalties within the team are sorely tested and Thomas begins to realize that sometimes you need better footwork off the pitch than you do on it...
