Scene, 1912-3 just before WW1 breaks out. A pro sports team is languishing in the bottom half of the league when the the Head coach out on a scouting misssion spots a young player playing in his local team for fun but the the coach sees his potential and asks him if he wants a trial.
Having blown everybody away in a trial game the coach approaches the board and chairman of the club to build a team around this young talent. The board want to help but are broke. The coach then approaches a wealthy businessman and supporter for backing, he is so impressed by the coaches passion he buys control of the team and he and the coach go out and secure some of the best players in the world. The new season comes and the team starts to bond and tales of our young hero Jack soon spread. The season ends in disappointment though being beaten in the semis by there all talent rivals.
The team work hard in the of season and with the addition of 2 more quality players this could be their year but their rivals are stil hot favourites to retake the title.
with the new season our hero jack falls in love and starts a family,
now an established star of the league, records are broken as Jack goes from strength to strength. They make the finals winning in a close but ill tempered game against their bitter rivals and now look like going on to become legends of the game, however ww1 breaks out
most sign up for service but the team however has been broken up for good our hero finds himself as lieutenant in the infantry approaching soldier life with the same courage and attitude that made him a sporting hero.
the finale.
Our hero ends up leading the platoon as his C/O is killed, as his men are pinned by enemy machine gun fire he rushes out of the cover dodging shells,bullets and whatever the enemy could throw at him showing all the speed and grace that made him a hero on the sports field. as he reaches the machine gun pit he throws his grenade but is hit by a barrage of bullets, his grenade finds its target wiping out the machine gun post. His bravery saved his men
but cost his own. He is awarded the highest honour possible for his selfless act but the loss is felt for generations. his name and the team go down in history and leave people wondering what could have been and the senseless loss of life war brings.
