            Wayne Barnes refereed 111 international rugby matches in an outstanding career, which culminated in the Rugby World Cup Final of 2023 in Paris. But that final match also represented the peak of the online abuse he suffered at the hands of angry, and usually anonymous, fans. Threats to his house, his family and his life were part of the slew of invective he received. We talk about these experiences and how they affected a man described as \u2018the most accomplished and vilified referee in world rugby\u2019<\/p>\n

                                  Chris Boardman had a highly successful professional cycling career and then went on to take up the challenge of leading both Active Travel England\u2019s mission to get more people walking and cycling and Sport England\u2019s work to make sport and physical activity a normal part of everyday life.

As he said \u201cwe invested in Blues because of the of the opportunity to not only to transform a football club but also to be a catalyst for a change in the city itself\u201d We talk with him about the lure of a club in the heart of a major city, and why he believes this is the start of a new era for Birmingham’s city centre.<\/p>\n
