THIS IS K.O.P.A | LES FERDINAND

This week’s episode features a true icon of English football – the one and only Sir Les Ferdinand.

We sit down with Les for a brilliant, nostalgic deep-dive into his memories of the K.O.P.A League and his unforgettable spell with Achna. He shares how he originally got involved with the club, the characters he met along the way, and what the Greek Cypriot community in London meant to him during those early years.

Les also takes us back to those legendary gatherings at the Cypriot Community Centre – the football, the friendships, the food – and yes, we even discover his unexpected love for koubes.

It’s a warm, funny, and insightful conversation with one of the game’s greats, and a beautiful reminder of how football brings communities together.
