Jamie Johnson (TV series)

Jamie has to start at a new school mid-term. With his amazing football talent, Jamie should have no problem fitting in with the cool kids. But new friend, Jack, is disgusted when she witnesses Jamie being cruel to the geeky Boggy. Jamie eventually makes amends, but in the process makes a serious enemy in school bully Dillon. When the horrified Jamie witnesses his mother getting close to a work colleague, it makes him all the more determined to track down his dad.

Jamie is on a high - the video of him scoring against Tibbs has gone viral and he is the hero of Kingsmount. But all this attention goes to Jamie’s head when he forces the team to let him take a penalty and then misses it when he dares to do a Panenka. To make matters worse, it is Harry that eventually secures Kingsmount the match. After the game, Harry winds him up and Jamie quickly turns it into a fight.

It is Dillon’s first try-out at Hawkstone Academy and Jack is sent along to cover it for the school blog. Jack cannot stand seeing Dillon taking Jamie’s place and sets out to try and persuade the Hawkstone manager to give Jamie a chance. Dillon does well but is bullied by star player Jethro. Meanwhile, Jamie struggles to come to terms with the consequences of his actions and it is only when Mike gives him his beloved Book of Legends that Jamie finds the final piece of advice he needs.

It is Sports Personality of the Year time at Kingsmount and captain Dillon is confident of winning. Boggy finally has a date with online buddy, Nancy, and enlists Indira’s help to prepare. The date does not go as planned and Boggy feels humiliated, so his friends step in. The SPOTY trophy is in their sights, but who will eventually triumph?

It is Jamie’s first match back after his ban. He is determined to keep focused, but suddenly he seems to have distractions from all sides - not least the arrival of the son of Hawkstone’s latest international signing. But just as things are going well at home too - with him finally getting on with his mother’s boyfriend, Jeremy - there’s a knock at the door.

Jack is desperate to play in midfield but has to work twice as hard as anyone else to prove her worth to Hansard and is furious when it seems that Hansard is playing an international football’s son, Michel Bernard, ahead of her. Jack vents her frustration at the team, but could this knock to morale cost them the semi-final? And what is Hawkstone Academy bully Jethro doing in the crowd?

Reeling from their semi-final defeat, the team are rallied when it seems Boggy might have unearthed some good news. Jack is still not being honest with Jamie about spending time with Michel. When he sees them together at a Hawkstone match, he feels betrayed - but Michel’s days at Kingsmount may be numbered. Jethro threatens Dillon; does he have no choice but to betray his teammates?

Kingsmount are through to the cup final at St. George’s Park, the home of the England National Team and the pressure is immense. Jamie is desperate to be scouted. Jethro puts more pressure on Dillon - will he go against his teammates? Will Hansard be forced to finally listen to Jack’s team tactics? And will Jamie finally be able to put his penalty-kick demons to rest?

When Jamie’s trial with Foxborough Academy falls at the same time Kingsmount are due to defend the school cup, he convinces himself he can do both. But when he fails to make it to the Kingsmount game before kick-off, Hansard is forced to change his game plan. Has Jamie’s ego just cost everyone dearly?

Indira is quick to spread gossip about Jamie’s dad, but when Boggy’s investigations throw doubt on Indira’s assumptions, she is left with a surprising dilemma. Has she got what it takes to be a true friend?

Things go from bad to worse as Jamie turns his back on his friends to hang out with Jethro. Even Jack gets the cold shoulder as she sets off to play with England’s Lionesses. Could Boggy be right that Jamie’s actions are a deliberate ploy to get himself kicked out of Foxborough?

Jack and Zoe go head to head for a place at Archfield Women’s Academy, whilst Jamie helps Boggy get Phoenix’s sponsor back on board. But when the sponsor makes it clear they are only interested if he is in, Jamie makes a promise he might regret.

It is time for Jamie to say goodbye to Jack and decide whether he is signing for Premier League Foxborough or staying with grassroots club Phoenix. Jamie knows where his heart lies, but is he ready for either decision?

New pitch, new coach, new rivals. No Jack. Jamie is haunted by Jack’s absence from his life, but determined to make the best of Phoenix’s new circumstances. But although playing in a real stadium at Goodfield Park, home of non-league club Northport Rovers, sounds really cool, Jamie’s less impressed by the threadbare playing surface and their rundown training pitches.

Jamie proves himself as captain, but at what cost? He is determined to prove that he has what it takes to lead the Phoenix under-14s to the Gothia Cup. He sets out to impress Molly, but he goes about it in completely the wrong way, despite a trust exercise which Molly makes the team do, in training he once again plays selfishly, which alienates his teammates. Then Wozza turns up late and announces that he is quitting the team. Jamie lays into him. This leads Molly to give Jamie a major dressing down. Being captain is not just about what you do on the pitch, it is everything else off the pitch as well, respecting your teammates and setting an example. Note: Wozza departs in this episode, but he returns 8 episodes later.

Boggy leads the search for a new U14 goalkeeper, but neglects girlfriend, Nancy, while Alba helps Mike motivate the rest of the misbehaving U12s.

Under their father’s influence, Dillon and Liam seek to assert themselves in very different ways. But who will stand up for what’s right when push comes to shove?

Dillon is adamant he is not going to Sweden, but can Jamie persuade him to change his mind? And what will the team make of Duncan’s last-minute addition.

Boggy forces Duncan to come clean as Phoenix play well and make it through to the semi-finals. But when the referee makes a bad decision, Jamie is left with a huge moral dilemma.
