BBC Bitesize Careers caught up with author and creator of Jamie Johnson Dan Freedman, who like many people finds himself working in the world of football without being a player on the pitch. He’s written the book 50 Ways Into Football: Dream Jobs on and Off the Pitch and we couldn’t help but get stuck in and select a few of our favourites.
