As the title says a football drama around 1975 sure it was on BBC1.
The plot, if memory serves me right, surrounds a kid and his dad ..think they were from Leeds..move to the country to get away from the dads past ...it transpires he was a pro- footballer who ended up getting injured during his career, and does not want his son going down the same path. Think it was called Striker...but not to sure.
Thanks in advance....great forum by the way....
