Danny Hawke in an attempt to raise morale and try and teach the Rovers players how to play football, hires a film of the match in which the British Youth team won the International Youth Trophy. The players (the eleven little soccer boys), in this team are the squad Hawke trained. The Rovers team find themselves viewing this film time after time, as Hawke lectures them on how a football team should play. It's Kenton the coach's suggestion which sets Hawke off on the trail of locating and re-signing the eleven little soccer boys to play for Rovers. (For the complete story please read the first episode below).

Locating and signing the players to play for Rovers though isn't going to be a simple matter. As the various individuals are scattered to the four winds around the globe and aren't necessarily playing football. There is also the problem of raising the necessary money to sign the players. As the directors of Rovers don't have any money, Hawke has to look elsewhere. Luckily he finds his own Roman Abramovich in football mad Tyson. Silvester J. 'Tight Wad' Tyson, was a former director of Rovers, but once they were relegated from the Second Division, he left the board. Unfortunately for Hawke, unlike Abramovich, Tyson isn't keen on handing out loads of money and is also very crotchety. Hawke has to use all of his psychology skills to forge an agreement with Tyson which will allow Hawke to look for his former team players, but keeping costs to a minimum.
