OGT speaks to Dr Stefan Lawrence of Newman University.

You'll probably recognise him if you look him up. Not only is he featured on the video on our home page around Asians in football, he is frequently in demand by the BBC and Sky whenever they need a soundbite.

Stefan brings a unique sociological perspective based on years of study to our conundrum around the lack of Asians in football.

Also we discuss online hate, potential January moves for Asian pros and some of the articles, good and bad that have made it to the mainstream recently.

And the terrible: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000rn7h Firstly there is a presenter who knows nothing about the subject and he asks predominantly leading questions trying to confirm his biases and they promoted it with Portsmouth's Dinesh Gillela … just one problem, he actually plays for Bournemouth!

Asians in football... we're getting there (no thanks to the BBC!)
