Jimmy Grimble dwould do anything to become a football pro, but lack of self-confidence is standing between him and his childhood dream. Jimmy's luck changes, however, when he meets a mysterious old bag lady who gives him a pair of magical football boots, and before long he is scoring hat-tricks, and even managing to help his coach rediscover his love for the game. But just before kick-off at the school cup final the magic boots go missing. Will Jimmy's confidence desert him or will his supporters be singing "there's only one Jimmy Grimble" at full time?
