In this episode of Talking Race, Dr Daniel Kilvington speaks with British Asian footballing pioneers Permi Jhooti (Fulham) and Anwar Uddin (Barnet FC). Jhooti, the inspiration for Bend It Like Beckham, and Uddin, now Aldershot Town assistant manager and campaign manager for Fans for Diversity, share their experiences on and off the field, highlight barriers, and offer solutions. This offers a great insight into British South Asian female and male experiences in the ‘beautiful game’.
