Win a copy of Rio Ferdinand's Autobiography

 

Candid, outspoken and supremely honest, including interviews with those close to him, #2Sides is Rio's unique story: from his early days in Peckham, through to picking up the Champions League trophy on a rainy summer's night in Moscow. His book is the tell-all account of an extraordinary and controversial life in the game, on winning and losing; on defending and attacking; lost friendships and ongoing rivalries; on the love and hate of the beautiful game; and on playing for club, country and for yourself - this is a full spectrum of life at the very top of the footballing tree and a superb retrospective of a truly fascinating career.

The Benefits of Sport for Disabled Youth

 

There is a serious risk in underestimating young people with disabilities and assuming, incorrectly, that sport is somehow not for them. In reality this could not be further from the truth, with sport providing an enormous range of benefits for such young people, and some of the world’s most impressive athletes achieving their astonishing performances despite the hindrances of a disability.
