Boxer turned bouncer Viv Graham was one of the northeast most notorious hard men.

It was huge, you were strong, we could take anybody out.

Not many men on earth could match Viv Graham.

But his life of violence led to his downfall.

Why did it happen?

Why did they do that?

How did Viv Graham build an empire?

It was the power, the presence, the aura. And who was he, really?

I'm Garret 3 sewing, as you well know, nine times out of 10, I'm joined by Nicky Robinson,

however he's in Tokyo.

I'm in Yokohama, and in Tokyo, I'm in Yokohama and in addition I chased this guest today.

It's Adrian Hadley, former Wales International, dual code international, who's joined the Radio

Wales commentary team.

The reason I've asked Adrian to join today is because if you listened yesterday to the post-defeat the South Africa pod, We were downbeat, both myself and Nicki. Yet at the same time the mood was of a sense of pride I think in the boys and I mean that in inverted commas the boys who given their all

and fallen short at the final hurdle. Then I returned to your go-hammer just

before going to bed I just slipped into one bar for one beer,

bumped into Adrian Hadley, and both he and many others were far more critical of Wales, far more critical of the performance and felt that this was an opportunity missed.

So I think it's just interesting to get a different perspective and to see whether or not I was overly complimentary and whether or not I've changed my mind or he's changed his mind now the 24 hours have passed. He's in a restaurant around the corner I think I'll go and join him.
