BBC World Service - Sportshour, George Elokobi on Maidstone’s miracle and his community in Cameroon

The current Maidstone manager chats about the huge tie in the FA Cup

Former Premier League footballer George Elokobi is the first Cameroonian to manager an English football club. On Saturday 27th January, he will take charge as Maidstone United face second tier Ipswich Town in the fourth round of the FA Cup. George chats about his managerial ambitions as well as tough upbringing in Cameroon. 

On Sunday 28th January, it will be International Lego Day. It was on that day, that Danish carpenter Godtfred Kirk Christiansen submitted his patent for the original brick. Former Premier League footballer Darren Ambrose began his hobby when his parents in law bought him the toy as a present. It's since developed into a passion and even a social media channel. 

Plus, we'll hear from the Mother and Son coaching duo Anne and Tom Davies, who will be leading Team UK’s Flag Football Team at the NFL Pro Bowl Games.
