Overview: The odds were never in their favour, but that didn’t stop them.
Davey Byrne spends his days working as a part-time courier and full-time petty criminal in Dublin, Ireland. In between flittering from one scam to the next, Davey lines out for the dysfunctional Sporting Les Behans, a team of misfits which also includes a hitman and an armed robber amongst others.
While striving to keep one step ahead of the law Davey is also trying to win the hearts and minds of the working class locals who live in the tower blocks that surround the pitch. Davey’s best friend, Fran Reilly, also has his fair share of problems, trying to keep custody of his only daughter being number one.
Despite the numerous issues which each of the players are going through, their dedicated Scouse manager, Pa Baxter, has somehow guided them to the latter stages of the cup. But with trouble always on the horizon, can the team keep it together long enough to collect silverware?
Baxter’s Boys is an hilarious dark comedy set to a backdrop of Sunday league football, allowing readers to snatch a glimpse into the realities of trying to survive in a neglected and impoverished community.
