Safe Keeping

Alan Durant

Joe's been outstanding all season. Everyone reckons he's been Sheldon's player of the year so far. He has a great understanding with Ledley. But he's also very superstitious. When he loses the lucky coin that his granddad gave him for "safe keeping", he gets the jitters. And there's a little matter of a cup semi-final to play. After making a bad error in the game, Joe makes amends in the penalty shoot out. And the coin turns up!
