**Football**, a unique Tale About The World’s Favourite Sport – is a new documentary about how Association Football was born, developed and spread across the globe, while also telling the tale of the remarkable life of the game’s first entertainer, Fred Spiksley.

**Produced by a group** of fanatical football fans, media professionals, authors and a football historian, the film tells the story of Spiksley, an addicted gambler and womanizer who dazzled as an outside-left but also dabbled in film and was embroiled in a wartime escape mission.

The group has agreed to donate 20% of all sales of the documentary to the global charitable initiative Common Goal, whose members include Manchester United midfielder **Juan Mata**, among others.
