Muslim Premier League - lifestyles of footballers and Islam

When the Premier League started in 1992, it included just one footballer known to be Muslim, Tottenham's Spanish midfielder Nayim. There are now nearly 40 - which is enough for three teams - including players like Demba Ba and Kolo Toure.
A documentary on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ One - The Muslim Premier League - has been looking at Muslim players in England's top division - and the significant effect they're having on the culture of the game.
Riz Rehman featured on the programme - he visits football clubs to instruct them on cultural differences they need to be aware of.
In this clip he tells ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Derby’s Devon Daley about the importance of understanding Islam in the game.
