Right Back To Business

Former right-back Richard Eckersley, now 28, made his professional debut at the 'Theatre of Dreams' less than nine years ago, but is now running the UK's first zero waste food shop in the quaint Devon town of Totnes. Customers bring their own jars, bags, bottles and boxes and buy raw materials without packaging. "Football's incredible in the sense that it connects people all over the world - there's so many fans out there that are so passionate about football. But if we don't have a planet to live on, and it's not thriving and it's not healthy, then football doesn't matter, it doesn't make a difference any more."
