Life was sweet for Lee Vaughan: money, respect, sex and . . . football.
Ah yes, The Beautiful Game - well at least the version played by The Fox and Hounds, Chapel Allerton. Lee was the top scorer in 1992.
But not a single goal in '93.
Glaucoma. It struck him down. Within two years he was totally blind. His only glory from memories.
But memories don't satisfy the need for a 'damn good kickabout.'
Into Lee's life comes one Charlie Howard. His life is a mess - he kind of likes it that way.
Twenty years ago he saw 'Get Carter' and left the USA for the UK. And there he meets a blind man yearning to play this thing they call soccer.
Charlie is bored. Charlie is looking for a craic.
Looks like he's found one. |
