Kick4Life co-founder Steve Fleming will be joining us in the shop to speak about and sign copies of his book Radical Football.
Football can - and must - change the world! Radical Football, tells a compelling human story of Football for Good, from the gangland streets of Colombia and the slums of Mumbai, to the creation of Common Goal, a global movement which seeks to transform the football industry and put purpose at the heart of the game. This incredible story of one of the world's most innovative social entrepreneurs captures Jürgen Griesbeck's passion, drive and leadership in uniting fans, players, administrators and innovators in a collective mission to unleash the power of football for the benefit of people and the planet. It presents a hopeful vision for football's future.
