[Football] PFA launches new undergraduate degree programme for footballers

[AZ Gull]

This was mentioned by former Albion player Maheta Molango on a recent interview on the Price of Football podcast (co-hosted, of course, by our resident dullard). [For those unaware, Molango is now the Chief Executive of the Professional Footballers' Association].

The course has begun and our own Harry Lee (an extended 3rd-year scholar ths season, currently on loan at Gosport Borough) is one of the students.



Given that former Albion (and current Lewes) goalkeeper Toby Bull is a Master in Football Business & Management, and that young pros Charlie Tasker and Harry Mills have already completed their UEFA B coaching licenses at the age of 17, it does seem that our players are amongst the most well-educated in football.

That’s a great initiative. So many youngsters won’t make it in pro football - they need something to fall back on

There are some DULL people delivering part of the course though.

Looks like our very own Julio Enciso has decided to partake (far right-hand side, third from top).
