SOMETIMES, IT’S ABOUT INSPIRATION

I was the first British Asian professional footballer in the UK and was presented with the LifeTime Achievement Award at Wembley in 2018, as well as being the winner of the Inspiration Award at the 1st Asian Football Awards in 2012.  I was presented with an award for my services to football by Prince William and the FA at Buckingham Palace in 2013.

Whilst I have given many talks as part of my scientific research with presentations at international conferences, I also speak on many occasions  as a guest or motivational speaker for companies and events.

I speak on a variety of topics inspired from sport, ethnicity, diversity, culture, emotion and life.
