Billy the Kid

Look inside

A heart-stopping tale of football and war. The only thing Billy ever wanted was to play the beautiful game! He was faster and better on the ball than kids twice his age. His dream came true when he was picked to play for Chelsea, and became a champion soccer star! But that was in 1939, the year the Second World War began… and Billy’s life, like so many others, changed forever. Billy’s no kid now – he’s eighty. But he’s got memories, such memories. Can he use them to turn another boy with a passion for football into a Chelsea champ?
