The former Deliveroo boss now on a one-man crusade to get kids off their phones
Ritchie Beckett wants to bring back the ‘jumpers for goalposts’ culture that nurtured his love of football
Ritchie Beckett, a former Deliveroo sales leader, explains how a long-held idea, filling a football pitch with free footballs, became Found Football. He has now made it his full-time job, registered it as a not-for-profit and lined up ChildrensFootball.com as ball supplier and sponsors for funding. He wants to take it nationwide ahead of Euro 2028.
