Learning Curve

Not if you're part of Loughborough University's football team, who juggle getting good grades with achieving results on the pitch. As the Scholars battle for success on multiple fronts, the players are leading the way for a new breed of educated footballers to infiltrate the country's game.

From playing two matches in six hours and trying to stump up a team during the Christmas holiday, to hosting Liverpool and playing at St. George's Park, playing football at Loughborough is a truly unique experience.

In Learning Curve, Chris Evans explores the idiosyncrasies of university football and finds out why studying for a degree might just be a smarter decision than most young players realise.

Evans meets student footballers past and present to reveal the untold stories of British football's best-kept secret.
