Great radio interview on the BBC website where Jason Robinson, one of England's greatest-ever rugby players in both league and union, talks about how finding Christ saved him from himself, and from the emptiness that worldly success had brought him.
His story is fairly well-known among those of us who love both Christ and sport, but what is always striking is the way he came to faith through his team-mate, Vaiga Tuigamala, who was a living embodiment of 1 Peter 2 v 12: "Live such good lives among the pagans that … they may see your good deeds and glorify God".
His autobiography, Finding my Feet, has been around for a few years, but is a great read—you can get it second-hand here
