Julie and me - and Michael Owen makes three - Alan Gibbons

Part One: Mad About the Girl, or Phil Neville's Lunge
Part Two: Wanting the Girl, or Michael Owen's Hair
Part Three: Getting the Girl, or David Beckham's Knee
Part Four: Losing the Girl, or Theatre of Dreams

The day Terry sees Julie in the gym for the first time is the day of the England vs Romania match
the latest of the Great English Disasters
and the day his father announces that he's going to walk out. Things couldn't be worse. Only they could.
Gorgeous Julie is a Liverpool fan.
Even if he could summon up the courage to speak to her, Terry has a problem.

This is Terry's diary as he tries to cope simultaneously with first love, the unexpected break-up of his parents' marriage, and the traumas of the Beautiful Game.
A lighthearted, fast-paced, bang-up-to-the-minute and totally credible account of a 15-year-old boy who worries that he looks like Chris Evans, it is Alan Gibbons at his best and most readable.
