Santini and Page investigate when a young girl is knocked down in a hit-and-run incident. With the child recovering in hospital, Santini discovers she is a big fan of Arsenal, and in particular Emmanuel Petit. Santini has a contact in the sports promotion industry and boasts that he can make a dream come true for the youngster by getting Petit to visit, but Page isn't sure he can deliver. Meanwhile, Stamp has the job of organising the relief Christmas party, and finds a very cheap supplier for the booze, until he gets caught up in the middle of a Customs raid. Michael Higgs stars, with a guest appearance by former soccer star Emmanuel Petit
