'This is a fantastic opportunity and a real inspiration for those taking part.’ Sir Alex Ferguson. The football story of the year, Goal! The Story of the Homeless World Cup, is told by founder, Mel Young. Beginning with the initial idea in a Cape Town beach bar in 2001, there are recollections of the glorious atmosphere at the first tournament in Graz 2003, Austria, the philosophy behind the tournament, its impact on poverty and homeless people worldwide and, most importantly the stories of the homeless players themselves, who were transformed from society’s outcasts into today's real football heroes.
