The Big Man Up Top

In order to celebrate Jesus' 1-0 win over death, we have taken a short Easter break! So unfortunately we couldn't record your weekly installment of football faith and banter... Instead we thought we would share something even better! A fantastic interview with Solihull Moors FC player TOBI SHO-SILVA. Ed chatted with Tobi about his journey with God as a professional footballer, and his awesome charity F3 Football, which is bringing together Christians internationally through football. We hope you enjoy this very special episode, and check out Tobi and F3 football in the link below!
