We are continuing the series with a player who refused to just "stick to sports."

Join hosts Katie Cross and Laurence McKenna as they sit down with former Exeter City, QPR and Wycombe Wanderers star David Wheeler to discuss what it’s like to fight for the climate from inside the professional game.

From uncomfortable conversations in the dressing room to challenging the industry's sponsorship choices, David opens up about his career spent advocating for a greener future. We chat about where his passion stems from, the challenges of being a vocal advocate in a high-pressure environment, and what he wants to see change in the beautiful game going forward.
