Whatever Happened to Billy Parks

Gareth Roberts

About this book

October 17th 1973: the greatest disaster in the history of English football. All England had to do was beat Poland to qualify for the World Cup. They didn't. Left on the bench that night was a now forgotten genius, West Ham's Billy Parks: beautiful, gifted and totally flawed. Fast-forward forty years, Billy's life is a testament to wasted talent. His liver is failing and he earns his money selling memories on the after-dinner circuit to anyone who'll listen and buy him a drink. His family has deserted him and his friends are tired of his lies and excuses. But what if he could be given a second chance? What if he could go back in time and win the game for England?
