I found myself on the same pitch as Keegan at the age of about 22, playing against my boyhood hero.

I scored a tapping goal.

I came home on the Saturday night after the greatest moment of my life really.

I found myself thinking, I've drank of that since I was a little boy.

I've tasted it and it's like hot sun running through my fingers.

Welcome, everybody. This is Simon Gilbo with Inspired. If you're new to Inspired,

Inspired is about basically getting people from all sorts of different walks of life,

sharing their faith journeys. And hopefully as we learn from them, it does, yeah, it stirs our faith because we hear how through whatever difficulties the challenges life, life is thrown at them, they are still in the game, if you like. And I suppose as I use that line in the game, that relates particularly to this week's guest because we've got Graham Daniels. Everyone knows them as Dano. Hi, Dano. Hi, Hi, this Owen. Great to have you. Dano is the general director of Christians in Sport. He's also a director of Cambridge United. You're also on the staff of St Andrew's the Great Stag in Cambridge. And we, our path first crossed. It was either 1994, 1995. We're doing a mission. I was a student at Loughbury University, so I'm passionate about my sports and I was in charge of organizing this mission. We got you along. And there were two things I remember that talk that actually, tell you what, maybe we'll come to them, maybe we're wearing it. But it's interesting, isn't it? I can actually remember you. A good communicator because that is, what is that 30, 28 years ago and I can still remember two things.

Terrifying.

Yeah, good stuff.

Listen, Dano, let's just get crack on straight in there.

Can you, you're from Wales, can you paint us a picture of your childhood?

Sure.

Welsh speaking, South West Wales Village, Chapel going, a Welsh speaking chapel, broad liberal, not particularly teaching the Bible in any kind of rigorous fashion, more morality and anecdote.

So that would be the culture I grew up in.

Rugby was all. You couldn't play football. I was barred because it was the wrong

game. Wales were brilliant at rugby. It was the 60s and 70s. So grammar school, the old grammar school

system. So that really gave me an opportunity, I guess, to widen horizons because you could get into

the sixth form and then go off to uni as a first generation child to do that so that's

a broad brush stroke of background and good family solid background on that level

yes too but mom and dad just really family, solid background on that level? Yeah, super.

Mom and Dad, just really brilliant people.
