Many of his books were inspired his vegan and environmental concerns. Two use the backdrop of football in order to convey ideas on positive role models, racism and hooliganism, leading to an endorsement by the United Nations Department for Sport and Peace. From the introduction frotom Stanley Matthews: The Black Man with a White Face (by Geoff Francis, published 2010) His passion for football began early, with Stanley Matthews a boyhood hero. 'When I was seven years old, I was asked, “What are you going to be?” I replied, “I am going to be an artist or I am going to be Stanley Matthews”. In those days the slightest prowess with a ball earned the accolade, “Hey, Stanley Matthews!” The comparison made many a young boy feel proud. 'Eventually, I have become recognised as an artist and this, in turn, has allowed me to fulfil the other part of my naive prediction. I have written a script which has allowed me to engage with, and give a voice to, the life of Stanley Matthews.'
