From the publisher:
A fun football tale for little readers packed with laughs, friendship and a spot of superstition … Ridiculous injuries … strange illnesses … cancelled games … Everything's going wrong for the Saints this season, and Stanley's team-mates believe they finally know why. Their football kit is cursed! But the team's attempts to break the curse take things from bad to worse. Soon, they're ready to call it quits.
Stanley's still got some tricks up his sleeve … but will his curse-cracking ideas save the team in time for the last game of the season?
