SPORTbible: What is the Last Stand?

s Shepherd's Bush' just as a platform
to unite communities through sport

SPORTbible: Why is the tournament
so important for young people?
s Gundeep: The tournament's important because it brings a lot of people together.
Whereas people from one sector or one aspect would never come together, or they
would never meet or talk. The postcode thing, it's not hot right now in the news,
but it still exists. There are people from certain areas that can't go to another area.

SPORTbible: What's the difference between street football and what we watch on TV?
a Jay: For me, the massive difference between street football and the glamorous big
stage of football is just opportunity. Opportunity is very very limited in the larger
game, but street football? Anyone can turn up. Anyone can come here and play.
Daniel: I feel like street football is a chance for you to prove yourself to yourself
and people around you in the streets. Where we come from, you know, football is
& in our blood. Literally, that's all we knew.
