PROFESSIONAL football is a multi-billion-pound industry and for years fans have demanded that the game give back to its grassroots. A Labour government will do that.

As someone who has played football for leisure and competitively for over two decades, the current state of parks and pitches is abysmal and with more and more cuts under a Conservative government, it will only get worse.

As a dad myself, I want my son to be able to enjoy the luxuries I had playing sport growing up. That won’t happen if Theresa May and the Tories are in power.
