John Ogu

On this week's show we focus on positive developments in Sierra Leone, as better times could be ahead. Also we speak to Nigera midfielder John Ogu, who tells us how things are at his club in Israel. We look at the race for promotion to the EPL, with Newcastle United still on top of the Championship, and several African players in with a chance of going up. And in a fascinating piece of history, Stuart tells about South African player Albert Johanneson, the man seen as the very first of the African players in England.
