Description[edit]

All kids have a sports hero, and Buster is no exception. His favorite player is a goalie named Jacques Nettoyer, and Buster imagines he sees Jacques everywhere giving him advice on how to become a better player. The only trouble is, the more he tries to play like Jacques the worse he becomes! When the Elwood City Flyers lose the game, Buster feels like it's all his fault. Arthur helps his friend Buster to tend the goal and realize he has talent all his own.
