The Guy Who Came Back
6.2
“He couldn't forget the roar of the crowd...a woman's kiss...a small boy's love in his heart!”
Former football star Harry Joplin is down on his luck, both in his career and in his married life. He seems convinced of his own unworthiness, but a chance to play in a charity football game helps him see his life in a new light.
