Corrie's Don Brennan played Ben's Dad. He was an ex-footballer who had broken his leg and had to stop playing. This caused Ben's mum to have to get a job. She was killed driving into a bridge in an effort to get home one night. As a result, the Dad hated football and wouldn't let Ben play, despite him being a talented player. They arrived in an area which had a hopeless team. Ben joined secretly but his Dad eventually found out. After a row and stand-off, he agreed to coach the team. Another part of the story concerned a local girl who was also a brilliant player, and the team's efforts to find a way to get round the league's 'boys only' rule.
