Summer 1994, a rusting port in the southwest corner of England.

Lin Guodong, a Chinese man who transmigrated, puts on the mask of “Arthur Smith.”
He brings no money, but a copy of The Slum Gold-Mining Handbook, filled with the names of future superstars.
The English media call it “the most absurd fairy tale in football history.”
