Description
Tom Palmer's new edition of Over the Line tells the true story of Jack Cock, a footballing legend who became a war hero during WWI. It's his proudest moment - debut as a professional footballer - but also a turning point in his life.
The outbreak of war forces Jack to join up and form part of a Footballers' Battalion. The promise of a Cup in Flanders offers a glimmer of hope, but the reality is a waking nightmare that will test his survival and his love for the game.
