Marcus has spoken for, and inspired, millions of children who are from similar backgrounds to him, helping them to see that your current situation does not have to determine where you are going. That is so so powerful. * Siya Kolisi, South African rugby captain and world cup winner on You Are a Champion * A thoroughly enjoyable read for both children and adults alike. * Irish Examiner on You Are a Champion * An invaluable read for older readers as well as young football fans, this is a wry, moving, and memorable book for finding your way in the world. * BookTrust on You Are a Champion * There's serious stuff here, but delivered in such an accessible manner that all children will relate to it. * Daily Mail on You Are a Champion *More details

Marcus Rashford MBE is Manchester United's iconic number 10, currently on loan at La Liga club Barcelona, and an England International footballer.
During the lockdown imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Marcus teamed up with the food distribution charity FareShare to cover the free school meal deficit for vulnerable children across the UK, raising in excess of GBP20 million. Marcus successfully lobbied the British Government to u-turn policy around the free food voucher programme - a campaign that has been deemed the quickest turnaround of Government policy in the history of British politics - so that 1.3 million vulnerable children continued to have access to food supplies whilst schools were closed during the pandemic.
In response to Marcus's End Child Food Poverty campaign, the British Government committed GBP400 million to support vulnerable children across the UK, supporting 1.7 million children for the next twelve months.
In October 2020, he was appointed MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours. Marcus has committed himself to combating child food poverty in the UK and his book You Are a Champion is an inspiring guide for children about reaching their full potential.
Carl Anka is a London-born journalist and broadcaster who likes his tea with milk and one sugar. He has written for the BBC, Guardian, VICE, NME, GQ and BuzzFeed among other publications online and in print and specializes in writing about pop culture, video games, films and football. Currently a reporter for sports media group The Athletic, covering Manchester United, he is the host of the Talk of the Devils podcast and is scared of talking on the phone.
Along with Marcus Rashford, Carl is the co-writer of You Are a Champion, You Can Do It, Heroes and Marcus's World of Football.
