Specky Magee and the Great Footy Contest
by Felice Arena (Author) Garry Lyon (Author)
Specky comes face to face with a tough, talented player by the name of Derek Screamer Johnson. He was responsible for having Specky sent off during a game last season. The two boys become bitter rivals and when a popular TV show runs a nationwide football contest. Specky is relieved when everyone except Screamer decides to enter. But why is Screamer such a bully on the field? And why is he sucking up to Specky's team-mates?
