Meet the (Bengal) tiger of the midfield – and star of The Victory Boys front cover! – Junayd!
Junayd: timid and tenacious rolled into one
He may have a useful family connection in the The Victory Boys set-up, but rest assured that Junayd’s selection is purely on merit. His tigerish tackling and considerable coverage of the pitch means that his opposite number is never afforded the luxury of time on the ball.
By contrast, he’s a fairly quiet and straightforward young man off the pitch, and some would say he only ever finds himself in the most minor of trouble – usually due to his association with livewire team-mate Ibrahim!
On occasions, Junayd appears to be somewhat troubled. Find out why, and whether his situation improves, by reading the book!
