A beauty queen in her youth and a lifelong football fan, by normal standards she should be settled into a life of retirement and relaxation. But this is no ordinary lady. Having lost her only son at the age of 21 and remaining unmarried, Dolly has adopted a new family – the local boys of Clairwood. And she is guiding them to a better life through football. While her young players are still unemployed and without state support, soccer has given them a reason to live. Natthi, the team coach attests: “soccer is our life…our daily bread”.
