Club World Championship

Club World Championship - The competition in Japan will boast some of the finest footballing talent on the planet. Millions will surely flock to television screens to see the likes of Traore, Josemi and Crouch in action - sporting icons and good looking lads to boot. It's a marketer's dream.

Russia

Russia - This is the story of the continental tour with a difference. Once I had arrived in Russia, I spent my first week getting eaten alive by mosquitoes while refurbishing an aging swimming pool for a kid's camp, just east of Moscow. The team, which consisted of a dozen lads from Liverpool of which I was the youngest, then ran some football coaching clinics for local children, with the local media keeping a watchful eye.

Belarus

Belarus - I spent just over a month in Belarus, mostly working as a football coach with young people in deprived areas. My role included helping to run a kid's camp, organising an Operation Christmas Child shoebox distribution and working in local prisons, both male and female.

Albania

Albania - Albania was a true culture shock; it was simply like nowhere else I've ever seen.

Ukraine

Ukraine - Having spent the previous three months coaching football to young people in Russia, Belarus and Albania, it was time for the final leg of the journey, and what would prove to be a memorable month in the Ukraine.

Beslan School Tragedy

Beslan School Tragedy - Recently the Russian government issued a request for Samaritan's Purse to visit Beslan, following the horrific terrorist attack at a middle school in the Vladikavkaz suburb in Russia's North Ossetia region. So earlier this month I was part of a team of football coaches, doctors, counsellors and translators who travelled to this devastated community.

Joel Rookwood Salutes Japan

Joel Rookwood Salutes Japan - We crawled off the plane at Tokyo airport in reasonably good spirits, having caught the latter part of Senegal's victory over France whilst in Copenhagen. As we stood waiting to collect our luggage I remember thinking to myself how little I knew about Japanese culture.
