A promising young football player returns home to his tiny Scottish village, his dreams in tatters and a dark secret haunting his conscience, in a beautiful, unforgettable novel about hope and redemption, when everything seems lost…
'Hugely evocative and unashamedly sympathetic to the hopes, dreams, passions and, sadly, failures felt by both players and fans' Stanchion Books: ‘Nine football novels that are actually good’
'Depicts Scottish working-class, small-town life with acute understanding and sensitivity, and explores a legacy of depression and childhood trauma. Few novels this year will pack such a hefty emotional punch or such a powerful conclusion' Herald Scotland
'Few do raw, authentic, almost palpably believable characters better than David F. Ross ... a novel that deals with profound themes' Patrick Barclay, The Times
**Shortlisted for Saltire Society's Scottish Fiction Book of the Year**

Football was his dream
Coming home was his reckoning
Danny Garvey was a sixteen-year old footballing prodigy. Professional clubs clamoured to sign him, and a glittering future beckoned.
And yet, his early promise remained unfulfilled, and Danny is back home in the tiny village of Barshaw to manage the struggling junior team he once played for. What's more, he's hiding a secret about a tragic night, thirteen years earlier, that changed the course of several lives. There's only one Danny Garvey, they once chanted … and that's the problem.
A story of irrational hopes and fevered dreams – of unstoppable passion and unflinching commitment in the face of defeat – There's Only One Danny Garvey is, above all, an unforgettable tale about finding hope and redemption in the most unexpected of places.
