Midlands football club ride for modern slavery survivors

Hundreds of cyclists are set to join a man riding between five football clubs in a bid to raise awareness of slavery.

Gordon Miller will also be accompanied by current and former footballers as he cycles between the clubs.

He has pledged to visit the grounds of Wolverhampton Wanderers, West Bromwich Albion, Aston Villa, Birmingham City and Leicester City.

The ride coincides with the UN's International Day for the Abolition of Slavery on Thursday.

The 58-year-old from London has aimed to collectively complete more than 40 million pedal revolutions.

"There are 40 million people enslaved globally at any given time," he said.
