It’s 1944 in Wallsend, Tyneside, and the shipyard at the end of Jack’s street has a new visitor. A massive warship called HMS Warspite is in need of repair and the workers at the y ard are working night and day to fix her. The close-knit locals teach the navy lads from the ship a thing or two about football and, when disaster strikes, what true strength and resilience looks like.
