Summary

We're overjoyed to be joined by England and Bath legend Matt Banahan, to celebrate his incredible story, which took him from being a nightclub bouncer in Jersey to becoming a star for England and Bath over many years. He grew up a hockey prodigy before someone finally saw sense and shoved him on a rugby pitch - from that he went from second row to flanker to winger in a season and ended up signing with Bath - becoming their highest points scorer in their illustrious history. However things weren't always plain sailing, today he lifts the lids on; ugly contact disputes, motorbike crashes, dwarf tossing, starting the first viral sporting punch up in history, shots of whisky in teammates eyeballs, the darkness of the west country and much more....
Plus Archie updates us on his crazy easter weekend and also rings Hollister about a topless modelling job application!

0:33.8	I've just been to a colleague while back I applied for a role to be a
0:39.3	topless model in one of your shops and I'd just like to retract my CV and the offer of it just
0:44.5	because my career in the city has sort of taken off exponentially and also my career

1:08.3	We usually do interviews in person.
1:10.5	Yeah, no, but the thing was it was roughly around 2006 that I came in. I handed in my CV then via a piece of paper for the Cheltenham branch and I was keen to sort of do that role. Obviously I haven't heard
