About this Event:

Can we apply what we learn on the sports field to our everyday lives? Former England cricketer turned writer Ed Smith examines the role of chance in sport and life in Luck, while John Crace, journalist and writer of the Guardian’s witty Digested Reads, describes the highs and lows of being a Spurs football fan in Vertigo. Now Smith and Crace join together to share what sport has taught them about life in a fascinating and funny session that will appeal to those who love sport – and to those who do not.
