You'll know Francis Duku as a towering centre-half but might be less familiar with his work off the pitch.

It's a fascinating insight into Duku's business brain and he also tells us about the work he's done with the FA and Kick It Out.

Revisit the Fleet's title win under Andy Ford and listen as Duku recalls the day he was attacked by a supporter who jumped onto the pitch.
