It is often said that football reflects the societies where we live. So what does football tell us about race and education? In this episode co-hosts Guy and Francesco learn the difficulties that young black footballers faced in their education as they tried to make it in the game from Leicester University's Paul Campbell. Paul also provides insight into the different media representations of black footballers, including in video games, as well as the particular challenges that black footballers face when they try to transition away from the game at the end of their careers. Throughout Paul highlights ways that clubs and the state can and should respond.

Please note that in explaining how black and white footballers are represented, Paul points to some of the offensive ways this has been done regarding black footballers.
