About this episode

Why did playing for Arsenal mean so much to Héctor? Why is football an unhealthy habit to play professionally? Should athletes use their platform to speak up on social issues more regularly?


Gary and Alastair Campbell are joined by former Arsenal and Barcelona star Héctor Bellerín to discuss the challenges he faced moving to London at such a young age and his desire to go to university after his playing career comes to an end.


Héctor also explains about his involvement with the Green Football Great Save campaign, which aims to protect the future of football and help drive more ambitious action to tackle climate change.
