Football legend Mohamed Salah prepares for his Liverpool FC exit, after nine unforgettable years. Muslim fans and commentators discuss his legacy both on and off the pitch. How his legacy stretches beyond football, as Salah’s openness about his Muslim faith helped reshape perceptions of Muslim players in the public eye and inspired what some call the “Mo Salah effect.” Plus, 11-year-old chess sensation Bodhana Sivanandan, now England’s leading female player, talks about her ambition to become a grandmaster. The biggest stories affecting Asian Network listeners across the UK. With Amber Haque. Produced in Birmingham by Samsaara Productions for BBC Asian Network.
