Description Follows the fantastic footballing fortunes of the battling Noble family. Like the club they worship, the struggling Nobles have no real home, not much money, but lots of heart. Their one ambition in life is to have a Royboy of their own. Instead they have a daughter who in the beginning hates football but finally goes on to become the first ever Roygirl.
