Everything happens in threes! This is what Martin thinks as in a short space of time he loses his job, his prospects and his lovely girlfriend, Anna. However, there is always football and Euro-96 is about to start on TV presented by his hero. Then, suddenly, like a bolt from the blue the beautiful, enigmatic, football-mad Rosie appears in his life like an Angel sent from heaven to cure all his woes. Martin can't help falling in love with Rosie who seems too good to be true especially as he can't ask her questions to find out more about her! His Scottish friend Cameron and his girlfriend Barbara can't believe Martin's luck nor England's as their performance in the championship suddenly improves. However, England's winning streak can't last forever and so, it seems, neither can Martin's as Rosie disappears never to be seen again. All is not lost for the now forlorn Martin as he remembers something that Rosie told him just before she disappeared.
