Jack Grealish and Jordan Henderson help launch McDonald's new fun football programme

England stars Jack Grealish and Jordan Henderson have helped launch the UK's largest grassroots participation programme.

The McDonald’s Fun Football programme will provide more than 10.5 million hours of coaching in parks and playgrounds across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales over the next four years. The launch of the historic programme was recently celebrated at the National Football Museum with McDonald’s Fun Football ambassadors hosting some of the first of the one million children set to benefit from the programme.

And familiar faces got involved too, including Manchester City star and recently-crowned Premier League champion Grealish. The Three Lions ace was joined by international team-mate and Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson, while ex-City star Micah Richards, England Women's star Beth Mead and former England Cerebral Palsy captain Jack Rutter also took part.
