The Tigers

fbtThis was our first ever series. The wonderful illustrations are by Guy Parker Rees. Billy Bright and his friends are members of The Tigers FC. They're a great team but their coach, Billy's dad, is a bit accident prone and can't always be there to coach them. Step up Springer Spannell, who used to be a famous goalkeeper. He's a great substitute coach but there are two problems. He's a ghost - and only Billy can see him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

"The man seemed a bit wobbly round the edges. Billy rubbed his eyes. The man was wobbly round the edges! And Billy could see right through him. The man was . . . a ghost!"
