 Everything happens in threes! This is what Martin ( Neil Morrissey  (qv)) thinks as in a short space of time he loses his job, his prospects and his lovely girlfriend, Anna ( Tilly Blackwood  (qv)). However, there is always football and Euro-96 is about to start on TV presented by his hero ( Desmond Lynam  (qv)). Then, suddenly, like a bolt from the blue the beautiful, enigmatic, football-mad Rosie ( Rachel Weisz  (qv)) appears in his life like an Angel sent from heaven to cure all his woes. Martin can t help falling in love with Rosie who seems too good to be true especially as he can t ask her questions to find out more about her! His Scottish friend Cameron ( John Gordon Sinclair  (qv)) and his girlfriend Barbara ( Arabella Weir  (qv)) can t believe Martin s luck nor England s as their performance in the championship suddenly improves. However, England s winning streak can t last forever and so, it seems, neither can Martin s as Rosie disappears never to be seen again. All is not lost for the now forlorn Martin as he remembers something that Rosie told him just before she disappeared.
