Eight Kids from London

Were you ever at school? Did you sometimes hate school and sometimes love it?

Did you have a teacher that you loved? Did you have someone who inspired you totally?

Did you have a gang of mates that you always hung around with? Did you have a secret name for your group of friends? Would you have done anything for your mates?

Have you ever run? Have you ever swum? Have you ever played football? Did sport change your life? Did you have an injury that you thought you’d never recover from?

Did you ever get really hurt? Did you ever get to your absolute lowest and recover from it? Did you have people who believed in you, people who changed your life?

Well, if any of these apply to you, then maybe, just maybe you’ll enjoy Eight Kids from London!
