The account of an 'almost but not quite' top level player lured in the twilight of his career to bottom-placed Torquay United. Initially enthused by his player/coach role the events of the following season show the disparity between a club's expectations and ambitions and the desperate reality as players are injured, suspended, transferred, play badly, or just fail to impress. When to finish last is to face oblivion just surviving can be counted a triumph . . .
