The story

Jimmy, a shy teenager from Oldham and devoted Manchester City fan, faces bullying at school, especially from Manchester United supporters Gordon and Psycho. He joins the school football team, coached by the disheartened Mr Wirral, and befriends Alice, a homeless woman squatting in condemned housing. She gifts Jimmy a pair of old football boots, claiming they once belonged to Robbie Brewer, a former City player, and insists they are magic.
