Synopsis

Jimmy Grimble would do anything to become a football pro but a lack of  self-confidence  on  the  pitch  is  standing  between  him  and  his childhood dream. His misery is compounded when his mother  invites her latest moronic boyfriend to move in rather than the man she really wants,  Harry  (Ray Winstone). However, Jimmy's luck changes when he meets a mysterious old bag lady who gives  him  a  pair  of  magic football  boots.  And  although  skeptical  at  first,  it's  not long before Jimmy is scoring hat tricks  and  even  managing  to  help  his  coach (Robert  Carlyle)  to  rediscover  his  passion  for  the  game.  But just before kick  off  on  the  day  of  the  school  cup  final  the  boots  go missing.  Will Jimmy's confidence desert him or will his supporters be singing, "there's only one Jimmy Grimble" at full time?
