AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Singaporean teenager Lee Jun Yong dreams of becoming a professional footballer. Growing up in a family of humble means, in the shadow of Bedok Stadium, the sixteen-year-old is unsure what the future has in store for him. Then one day a chance encounter and some fancy footwork lead to a trial with Geylang United and suddenly it seems as if Jun Yong's dream is about to come true. Armed with his grandfather's Tiger Balm and qi gong training, can Jun Yong make the under-18 national squad and represent his country against Australia? Teenage football fans worldwide will delight in Jun Yong's football skills, despair at his dating skills, and empathise with his struggle to over come hardships and make his fantastic football dream become reality.' (Publisher's blurb)
