Andy Cole: Goals, glory and the battle for his life
Manchester United star striker Andy Cole on overcoming racism in football and his journey from top scorer to transplant survivor.
Andy Cole is one of England’s most successful footballers, notably part of the legendary Manchester United squad that won a historic treble in 1999. His path to the top wasn’t easy – as a young player he had to deal with racism in football, and then grapple with the expectations of stardom. But Andy’s biggest challenge was off the pitch when he faced a deadly health scare. This interview contains offensive language.
Sissel Tolaas is a smell collector from Norway. She travels the world gathering smells and has amassed over 6,000 - including those of her former partners. She's even made a cheese from the smell of David Beckham's shoes. This interview was first broadcast in 2017.
