Jul 18, 2022, 05:00 AM
On the weekend of July 23rd and 24th, Corinthian-Casuals will be hosting the second edition of the Egri Erbstein Tournament. Celebrating one of football’s great pioneering coaches, the tournament also brings together like minded amateur and semi-professional clubs from around the world.
In the third of our bonus episodes, we speak to Abdullah Mohammed, first team manager at Hilltop FC. Based in north London, Hilltop has its roots in the British-Somali community and has had a rapid rise since being founded in 2005.
This year they're preparing to play Step 5 football for the first time, having gained promotion to the Combined Counties Premier Division. They also happen to be the semi final opponents of Corinthian-Casuals at the Egri Erbstein Tournament.
Abdullah speaks about his excitement about the game, the history of Hilltop and its role in the local community, and some foreign adventuring of their own.
