Manage episode 213237684 series 1301467
As the Women's Hockey World Cup begins we look at how the sport deals with concussion.
Danish Donation: FC Nordsjælland join Common Goal FC Nordsjælland have made history by becoming the first club in the world to donate 1% of their match day revenue to charity, after beating Cliftonville FC in the Europa League. The charity in question is "Common Goal", which was set up by Manchester United star Juan Mata. The initiative encourages players to donate 1% of their salary to charity. Tom Vernon is the Chairman of FC Nordsjælland and explained to Sportshour how it works.
The man behind the greatest ever football chant We travel to Cuba to find out more about the man who composed the greatest football chant of all time. Admittedly that wasn't his goal at the time, but still... "There's only one Joseito Fernandez!" Our guide is Dr Katia Chornik, researcher specialising in cultural history of music, migration and human rights
