Description A football fan, approaching middle age, journeys from Manchester to London for the annual game and weekend on the town. He is a pleasant, decent man whose cross is his timidity with women. Under the goad of a bet with one of the boys and temporarily sustained by alcoholic courage he appears with a prostitute in her room, where the whole …action occurs. [Two lonely people] - by chance, each is ready to drop his defences in return for some human warmth.
