Description
'Hello, John. It's Mike here from 6th Rhyl. I've not heard from you, but I assume the game's off in the morning.' 'No, the match is still on, Mike.' 'But, John, there's a couple of inches of snow on the ground.' 'Not on our pitch there isn't, Mike, or should I say there won't be by kick-off. It's all sorted. The game's on.' In The Soul of Football, Mark Chester looks back at his early dreams and aspirations and considers, through the events of his own life and reflections such as 'Understanding the coach' and 'Playing by the rules', what life lessons the 'beautiful game' has taught him.

Person
Mark Chester is a writer and speaker. He is the founder of Who Let The Dads Out?, a movement of churches reaching out to fathers and their children, and works for BRF to support the growth of the movement. He is married to Su, and with their two children, Megan and Billy, they worship at Hoole Baptist Church in Chester. Mark still plays football as often as his body allows, hits a golf ball badly, jogs reluctantly and swims slowly.
