The Drop In: Les Ferdinand

Kate's off to west London for today's episode of The Drop In, where she's shown around QPR's training facilities by a Premier League icon. It's only bloody Les Ferdinand!

(Sir) Les sits down with Kate to discuss a storied career that took him from QPR to Newcastle and many places in between. They talk about how representation needs to be accompanied by meaningful action from footballing authorities, discuss his role as QPR's Director of Football and remind us of the importance of non-league football. We also get the answers we* have always wanted, such as did he really fly himself to Bolton training in a helicopter?

*Pete. Obviously.
