As would be expected in a book borrowing some of its title from the 2010 CBBC reality TV series 'Hai! Karate', in which Joe featured as a contestant, a few revelations are offered about how that genre operated in reality during the filming of the show.
The book chronicles the career of Joe Broadfoot Sr, a right-wing footballer who showcased his talent across all four professional divisions in England from 1958 to 1968. It highlights his two tenures at Millwall, his time with Ipswich Town, and a short period with Northampton Town during their sole season in the top tier. Through these experiences, the narrative explores the challenges and triumphs faced by a player navigating the competitive landscape of English football during that era.
