"Football isn't just a game"—it's life.

For 16-year-old David Jones, football is more than a sport; it's an escape, a calling, and the only thing that makes sense in a world full of challenges. The electric thrill of scoring a last-minute winner, the roar of the crowd—it’s the closest thing to freedom he knows.

But David's journey is far from simple. Blessed with extraordinary talent yet burdened by fiery anger, he’s fighting battles on and off the pitch. Growing up as the son of a Nigerian immigrant and a British mother, David navigates the pressures of cultural expectations, the weight of his own ambitions, and the scrutiny of a sport that demands perfection.

Passion drives him forward, but his temper holds him back. Can he channel his emotions and prove himself worthy of being football's next big star?
 David Jones: The Next big thing is a gripping coming-of-age story about resilience, identity, and the unrelenting pursuit of dreams.

The Next Big Thing

Trevor sat in his home, the weight of the Covid lockdown pressing down on him. It had taken away the one thing that had always brought him true joy, and he didn't say this lightly, given that he was surrounded by his wife and two kids.

Football had been Trevor's obsession since he was a little kid—perhaps a little too obsessed for those who knew him. He had been introduced to the sport by his father, just as so many kids in the UK were. The passion for the game—and for a particular team—had been passed down. Trevor had fallen in love with Derby County, affectionately known as "the Rams" by their supporters.

A lifelong fan, he had stood by Derby County through thick and thin, facing tough rivals and their fans, always staying loyal to the team he loved.

Just a few months ago, Trevor had been living the dream. Since the appointment of Wayne Rooney—the Manchester United and England legend—as Derby County's manager, the atmosphere around the club had transformed.
