The story of Nico Williams, who is playing the best football of his career, is a modern tale of human trafficking, hope, emigration and love of strangers
Nico (and Iñaki) parents, María and Felix, travelled from Ghana in search of a better future. They used their savings to pay a human trafficking gang to take them to the UK, but they left them stranded half way. They had to walk the Sahara desert without shoes (Felix has got no sensibility on his foot as he walked over sand 50 degrees hot).
María was pregnant from William
Friends died and were buried, but they kept walking. They were arrested in Melilla (Spanish colony) and a lawyer told them to lie and say they had come from a war affected country (Liberia).
They were introduced to a priest who helped them get the documents to stay in Spain, and found them work too. Iñaki was born soon after
The family moved to Pamplona (in the nearby Navarra) and that is when Nico was born
Iñaki only found out about his parents journey when he was 18
Now both Nico and Iñaki talk every time they can about María and Felix, and what they did for them
Do the actual games always live up to their hype? Absolutely not
But clásicos in Argentina are always special. Independiente-Racing about to get underway
"The train station in Stratford is going to be busy shortly" 😬
West Ham fans find a quick exit as their side goes 4 goals down against Arsenal in the first-half 😮
With Once In A Lifetime winning best sports documentary of the year last year, I knew we'd need something special for the next season...
Luckily we found it in CA Osasuna.
A football club & fanbase that allowed us to tell a story about so much more than football.
🚨It’s back! This is Once In A Lifetime.🚨
Forget anything you saw in Qatar. The story of the 2022 FIFA World Cup was in Argentina.
Whilst Doha may have felt like the heart of the action, we sent @ElMengem 14,000 km in the other direction to Argentina, to witness a nation experiencing something bordering on spiritual.
A story of one man, one nation and one chance for Lionel Messi to change football’s history forever.
Football's biggest name. In its biggest-ever game. This is Once In A Lifetime.
