|title=Diary Of Dorkius Maximus In Pompeii
|author=Tim Collins
|rating=4.5
|genre=Confident Readers

''Over the Line'' is the story of Jack's war, of joining the Footballers' Battalion, playing in the Flanders Cup, fighting in the trenches and not just surviving but being decorated for bravery. After the war he scored England's first international goal and was one of the first of the modern generation of 'professional footballers'.
