A further adventure of the Dunmore United Junior Supporters Club made famous in the original television series of Murphy's Mob. The football club is still struggling for funds, and Mac Murphy, the manager and the Mob's mentor, is desperate to sign new players, so the injection of half a million pounds surely cannot be refused. However, the source is dubious enough to make club chairman Rasputin Jones (the poor man's Elton John) refuse the cash. The reasons why and the subsequent developments provide sufficient incident to involve the young reader --- and there are plenty of substrata of relationship entanglements to stretch even the memories of a 'Mob' addict.
