Football Academy: Captain Fantastic by Tom Palmer (author) (UK edition)

Since Ryan Flynn got into trouble for bullying, he’s determined to pull his socks up and be the best captain United’s ever had. So when team-mate Craig starts to stir up trouble, Ryan knows he must get to the bottom of it. But Craig’s worries are much bigger than Ryan could ever have guessed. Can he help Craig before he’s shown the red card, or is he about to lose a friend – and a talented player? More fast-paced on-pitch action packed with psychological insights from the acclaimed Football Academy series.
