What is Whatever Happened to Billy Parks about?

A vivid and engaging story of wasted talent, second chances, family, friendship, and, of course, the beautiful game. October 17th 1973: the greatest disaster in the history of English football. All England had to do was beat Poland to qualify for the World Cup. They didnt. They could only draw. Left on the bench that night was a now forgotten genius, West Hams Billy Parks: beautiful, gifted and totally flawed. Fast-forward forty years, Billys life is a testament to wasted talent. His liver is failing and he earns his money selling football memories on the after-dinner circuit to anyone wholl listen and buy him a drink. His family has deserted him and his friends are tired of his lies and excuses. But what if he could be given a second chance? What if he could go back in time and win the game for England? What if he was able to undo the pain hed caused his loved ones? The Council of Football Immortals can give him that chance, just as long as he can justify himself, and his life, to them. This is the story of Billy Parks: a man who bore his genius like a dead weight and who now craves that most precious of things the chance to put things right.
