Morten Andersen: The NFL Hall of Fame kicker

BBC World Service - Sporting Witness, Morten Andersen: The NFL Hall of Fame kicker

How a Danish kid became a record-breaking kicker in American football

Morten Andersen arrived in the US at the age of 17 knowing nothing about American football. He went on to become a record-breaking NFL kicker and was later inducted into the Hall of Fame. Alex Last speaks to Morten about his remarkable career and hears why the kicker is one of the most under-appreciated skill positions in American football.
