4 - Dan Freedman and Daniel Geey

Dan Freedman and Daniel Geey   Dan and Daniel discuss how important it is for children to know and understand there are other careers outside of playing football. Dan also shares the background to the popular Jamie Johnson series. They discuss how their passion for football led them into their current careers - Daniel talks about how he became a football lawyer. We also discuss the importance of libraries as well as the rise in women's football and how there is an equal balance of stories in 50 Ways into Football. Dan is a Sunday Times bestselling author whose global book sales have surpassed one million copies. He's best known for his hugely popular series of Jamie Johnson football novels. The series has helped get a generation of reluctant readers into books and has been adapted for TV by the BBC. As well as his role as a lawyer, Daniel has written and co-authored several bestselling books, speaks at global conferences, posts regular blogs and co-hosts 'The Dan and Omar Show' podcast where he (mainly) talks about football with Omar Chaudhuri. He also hosts his own podcast 'Build the Invisible'. KS2, KS3  Please click on here to watch Jamie Johnson series.
