Football, mentorship, and giving back – A conversation with Gordon Sanghera and Football Beyond Borders 

Football was more than just a game for Gordon Sanghera—it was a catalyst for personal transformation. In this conversation, Gordon Sanghera, CEO of Oxford Nanopore and founder of the Sanghera Foundation, sits down with Ceylon Andi Hickman, Director of External Relations at Football Beyond Borders (FBB), to discuss the influence of football in their lives.  

From his own childhood experiences to his vision of building all-weather stadiums throughout the UK, Gordon reflects on how football provided him with mentorship, opportunity, and resilience—all of which continue to drive his work today.
