The Kid That Sparkles
The Kid That Sparkles
Some kids dream of football glory, but for 16-year-old Brian Cassidy, talent alone won’t be enough to escape the tough reality of his council estate. In The Kid That Sparkles, Anthony Roche delivers a gripping, laugh-out-loud story of ambition, temptation, and the fight to follow the right path.
Brian has the skills to reach the Premier League, but the distractions are everywhere—flashy cars, drink, drugs, and the easy money of petty crime. Can he resist the temptations that have led so many before him astray? Or will he throw away his chance at stardom?
Praised for its razor-sharp Scouse humor and authenticity, this book is a raw and hilarious take on the realities of chasing a dream. Football fans will love the insight into grassroots football, but you don’t need to be a football obsessive to enjoy this story—it’s a fast-paced, heartfelt look at the choices that define us.
