"Football clubs are born from the community in which they are based"We’ve made a strong start to our sixth season, speaking with CEO of the Liverpool FC Foundation, Matt Parish. He keeps possession for the longest answer in Do More Good history as he entertains the boys with his tale from South London PE Teacher to Community Champion for one of the best-known brands in the world. We hear about how Matt’s career went from balls, bibs and cones to begrudgingly donning the suit. There’s a recognition of how a club owes its fans, collaborating with the neighbours and unexpected generosity from supporters far further afield. We have 12 hour road trips and local slang, plus gossip on meeting Jurgen Klopp and which players are the first to step forward. Matt tells us how the club stepped up and picked up the phone during the pandemic, the work they do in the city and his plans to do more globally. Kenneth goes full Geordie, James avoids a playground beating and we make a plea to Messi. ---You can find us on www.domoregood.uk or follow us on Twitter and Instagram.
