The Around The World Podcast

This is one of my favourite episodes yet. Delwyn and I discuss his team 'Bellevue FC', which is a multi-ethnic, all inclusive football club in North Wales. 

We also talk about the fantastic awards he and the club have won, including the the 2019 BBC Cymru Wales Sports Personality Unsung Hero award. 

On a personal note, I think at present the world needs more people like Delwyn and the lads at Bellevue FC, I think a lot can be learnt from listening to what he has to say in this podcast, I hope you enjoy!
