BBC World Service - Sportshour, The FA Cup final family

We preview the FA Cup with three generations of Watford FC fans.

The 138th FA Cup final is taking place and Manchester City are playing Watford FC.

Watford are the underdogs and have also for many years prided themselves on being at the forefront of a family friendly football experience. We hear from the Schaffers who are three generations of the same family and are going to Wembley to cheer them on.

Les Taylor also joins Caroline Barker to preview the game, he was Watford's captain 35 years ago when the club last played in a FA cup final back in 1984.

The BBC's Olympic reporter, Nick Hope has been to meet Pita Taufatofua, who was the man who made quite an impact in the Olympic Games in Rio. He was the guy who was shirtless and smothered in coconut oil proudly waving the Tongan flag at the Opening Ceremony. He is hoping to go to his third consecutive Olympic Games and compete in a third sport.
