When Jan joins the team he sees no sign that the team are getting any help from the spirit world – the Phantom Footballers have been playing terribly for years. But then he discovers the grumpy figure by the goal – is this the infamous Gary the Ghost Goalie?

Jan seizes his chance and makes a risky pact: if he can break the curse that binds the old football ghost to the stadium, then the ghost will make him the team’s new star striker. An exciting adventure begins, in which two stubborn characters have to learn what football is really all about.
