Description

Chris Ashton is possibly the greatest try scorer English rugby has ever seen. In this episode, we catch Chris at his most open. He reflects on his upbringing, schooling, how he moved codes, and his incredibly influential relationship with his father. He talks about getting it wrong, getting it right, how he came to terms with being a pantomime villain and how he feels he still has something to give the rugby world. We talk Martin Offiah, Louis Rees Zammit, having dinner with Mourad Boudjellal, and pulling Alesana Tuilagi's hair. Chris is one of the most misunderstood players in the modern game and this interview goes a long way to reveal what his character is really like: reflective, determined and generous. He also leaves behind a truly unique piece of rugby memorabilia. He was a joy to have on the show.
