Monty Panesar: I used to lie and say I was from Bedford
When he was growing up, former England cricketer Monty Panesar was ashamed to admit he came from Luton.
βWhen I used to play cricket and people would ask me where I was from, Iβd say Bedford,β he said.
But in the past few years, Monty says heβs changed his mind. He thinks Luton is on the up and says he is fed up with it being criticised.
In a special report for ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 5 Live, the left-arm spinner wanted to show why Luton no longer deserves its bad reputation.
