Description

Retired footballer Nathan Ellington, dubbed The Duke, was twice named the top goal scorer in the Football League, and was also a recipient of the league’s coveted Golden Boot Award. However, despite a successful playing career, after retiring, Nathan found himself bankrupt and searching for options to support his family. Here, he talks about the impact of losing out on football contracts despite his achievements, recovering from injuries, and how his faith gave him the perspective to push through his toughest times.
