A Set Piece with David Dein

Co-founder of English Premier League

David Dein, former Arsenal Football Club Vice Chair and co-founder of the English Premier League recounts how going to a Miami Dolphins game influenced his thinking about the future course of English football. His leadership tip is that it is OK to be on right side of history before most people, such as when he first advocated for clubs like Arsenal to take the women’s game seriously.

I’m a great believer, and I say this cautiously, that nobody has the exclusivity on progress. We all learn from each other.
