The man on a mission to create every football stadium in the UK out of Lego

Meet the man determined to make every football stadium in England and Scotland out of Lego. 

Death, Deafness and Dominating the World
When his father was murdered in 2000 the career of England rugby union star Ben Cohen fell away. He lost his international place, and couldn't even make the starting fifteen for his club. Three years later he was a World Cup winner. With the 2015 tournament starting on Friday we hear from Ben about that 2003 success, about lip reading on the pitch to overcome deafness, on being an icon for the gay community and how that family tragedy spurred him on to be the best in the world.

Tyres in Tyre 
This week the Rally of Lebanon came to an end against a backdrop of protests. Many have been demanding change from a government they say is corrupt and ineffective and that has been without a president for over a year.

Commonwealth Youth Games
Former England footballer Danny Mills visits the 5th Youth Commonwealth Games in Samoa. He’s been watching his son compete in the competition and soaking up the culture of this Pacific Nation.

Merriman Rules...
We preview the start of the NFL season with the former player who has a rule named after him! Having been suspended for doping Shawne Merriman’s name was appropriated for “The Merriman Rule”. The rule stops players caught doping from playing in the season ending Pro Bowl. He claims his doping violation was caused by tainted supplements. 

Sporting Witness…  Goes back to 1983 and a stunning victory by Australia in the Americas Cup - the biggest event in yachting.
