Never Walk Alone

Football is a great journey to take in company.

Jadel is all football and sport; Skip is crazy about history and is top in the class. They couldn’t be more different, yet uniting them is an indestructible friendship and an overwhelming passion: that for Liverpool, their favourite team. So when, in 2019, the Reds really seem one step away from the Champions League final, they have no doubts: to return victorious from the stadium in Madrid, they must bring with them Rupert Gallagher, a mysterious old man who in the past was an extraordinary good luck charm for the team, or so they say.

In a moment, what seemed like an away game like any other turns into a road trip adventure as improbable as it is thrilling: aboard a battered little car, obviously driven by Rupert, Jadel and Skip – together with Alex, Jadel’s father, and Irina, Rupert’s
splendid carer – will cross a piece of Europe. And they will discover that, beyond the victories and defeats, the magic of football also plays out off the pitch and creates new, unthinkable friendships.
