BBC One - My Faith and Me, Series 1, Gavin Peacock

The former footballer explains how he's reinvented himself as a full time preacher.

Former professional footballer and pundit Gavin Peacock explores his life journey, explaining his path from Premier League goal scorer to full-time church minister.

In a special programme to mark the countdown to Christmas, former professional footballer and Match of the Day pundit Gavin Peacock revisits the events of his tumultuous life. 

It's an extraordinary tale of spiritual rebirth that saw him go from scoring goals in the Premier League to a career devoted to preaching the word of God as a church minister in Canada. 

Revisiting key locations from his past and re-engaging with significant figures who helped shape his future, he explains the fascinating faith journey that led to him becoming the person he is today. Unflinching in his honesty, Gavin guides us through his life story, talking publicly for the first time about the difficulties of being one of the only openly Christian footballers of his generation, and of the heartwrenching choice to leave a successful career in television to pursue his dream of becoming an evangelist. 

He discusses the impact his decisions had on his family, friends and team-mates, and reveals how their support gave him the confidence to reinvent himself. 

Part travelogue, part celebrity biography, the programme offers thought-provoking insights into what it means to have faith in the 21st century, and tells an inspiring faith story that will resonate with everyone in the build-up to Christmas.

BBC One

For the four Sundays of Advent, four well-loved public figures revisit key events from their past to explore their unique relationships with religion and faith.
