Metro Gold: The Ability of Sport to Change Lives

In the gritty heart of 1970s London, a group of vision-impaired friends dared to dream beyond the limitations society placed on them. Metro Gold is the inspiring, often hilarious, and deeply human story of how eight determined individuals founded the Metropolitan Sports and Social Club for the Visually Handicapped—now known simply as Metro.

From chaotic cricket matches in Regent’s Park (where balls burst and sunbathers scattered) to pioneering international trips and the birth of inclusive athletics, this memoir chronicles the early days of a movement that transformed lives through sport. With vivid storytelling and candid reflections, Mike Brace and his fellow trailblazers reveal how camaraderie, resilience, and a touch of mischief built a legacy that still empowers vision-impaired athletes today.

Whether you're passionate about disability rights, grassroots sport, or simply love a good underdog story, Metro Gold is a testament to the power of community—and the joy of playing, competing, and laughing together.
