The Boyhood of Burglar Bill

In 1953, during the Coronation year in Oldbury, a football competition is organized, and a group of underdogs - including a girl - from the bottom pitch forms a team. Despite low expectations, they are all passionate about football and determined to compete. The story is a humorous and touching tale of friendship and football in an era when streets were filled with children and devoid of cars, appealing to children aged 9+ as well as adults who feel a sense of nostalgia. Meanwhile, a side story unfolds about Archie, a dog who miraculously returns after being run over and lost for a fortnight, adding another layer of wonder to that memorable year.
