Meer over het boek

The story follows Dave Allenson, a dedicated security guard with little interest in football, who becomes an unexpected hero during a pivotal moment in the 1997 play-off against Iran. When he intervenes to stop Peter Hore from vandalizing the goal, his actions trigger a chain reaction that alters the course of Australian football history. This narrative explores themes of duty, unexpected heroism, and the impact of seemingly small decisions on the larger world of sports.
