Join Nooruddean Choudry as he takes you on a journey celebrating the importance of identity and place, discussing what it was like being an Asian Mancunian kid in the late 1980s and 90s.
Manchester is the birthplace of the Stone Roses, the Class of ’92 and… Nooruddean Choudry. Born in 1979 – the same year Margaret Thatcher became Prime Minister, Sid Vicious died, and Ayatollah Khomeini overthrew the last Shah of Iran —Nooruddean, or Noz, is the British-born son of a Pakistani family who grew up a Muslim, Manchester United supporting, Morrissey-loving, working-class Manc.
His new book, Inshallah United, is a deeply personal story of faith and football that charts his life growing up as a strictly halal Stretford Ender, a devout Muslim and diehard Red. This is a must-see event for all lifelong football fans.
