This story of conficting loyalties - football and family, tells of George, an avid Sheffield United supporter. Since his parents' business hit a losing streak, though, the closest he's got to a match is the local radio commentary. With Christmas approaching, no heating or hot water and nothing but dripping sandwiches to eat, George finds his family loyalty tested to the limit. When George finally finds himself on the plane to sunny climes, it seems that victory could yet be snatched from the jaws of defeat. Linda Hoy has also written "Your Friend, Rebecca", "Nightmare Park", "Ring of Death", "Kiss" and "Haddock and Chips".
