The coach

The Super Bowl it's part sporting spectacle, part Hollywood blockbuster, but for one player in particular that's a particularly fitting description... Carolina's Michael Oher had his life brought to the big screen in the Oscar nominated "The Blind Side".

It tells his story of being taken in by a family who raised him as their own and set him on the path to sporting success.

Sandra Bullock won a best actress Oscar for her portrayal of Oher's adopted mother Leigh Anne Tuohy. However, there's nothing like hearing the real life story, and that's what Caroline Barker did back in 2013 when she went to meet Michael's high school football coach Hugh Freeze.
