Pupils are given lessons in football

Linvoy spoke to the boys about his football career with Portsmouth FC and how his life is driven by his mission to give his absolute best to everything he attempts and his Christian faith.

His presentation was supported with live music from Yapton Free Church members.

This was followed by Linvoy showing the Olympic torch he carried last year. He then headed to the pitches for some serious football coaching.

College headmaster Ian Graham said: “It was a great privilege to have Linvoy at the school and to listen to his inspiring thoughts on his journey through life so far.”
