This book is about:
"Ditchley Rovers were in the Cup Final against Valley Kings. While practising, Flip the goalie falls over and breaks his nose. Baggy Shorts (who is dressed in baggy shorts, a green jersey and a flat, grey cap) appears from the mist. He tells Joss that he is a goalie.

At the Cup Final, Joss is put into goal and Ditchley Rovers are losing 0-2 to Valley Kings at half-time. Baggy Shorts turns up and convinces the team to let him be their goalie. He is brilliant! Ditchley Rovers win 3-2 in the end, but Baggy Shorts is nowhere to be seen at the end of the match.

A few days later, Joss' Dad is working on his cigarette cards of famous footballers and finds one of Billy Macworth (Baggy Shorts) who died in a car crash a few days before he was due to play at Wembley in the Cup Final of 1947.
"

My favourite part of the book is
"When Baggy Shorts appears in the middle of the match."

I would also like to say
"I found the pictures on pages 54 and 55 scary. "

The main characters are
"Joss Porter and Baggy Shorts."

"When the goalkeeper, Flip, breaks his nose before the cup final, the team have to find another goalkeeper quickly.

At the cup final, a person in baggy shorts appears. He is a goalkeeper and had never been in a cup final before. The team offer him a chance to be their goalkeeper.

The goalkeeper was wearing baggy shorts, a cap and a green jumper. He had a leather ball in his hands that was laced together.

Baggy Shorts is good at saving the goals and the team manage to win.
