78. Brian Blessed - Part 1

In the first of a two-part special, Jack, Rob and James welcome a true National Icon to the Stage Door Athletic Clubhouse!

None other than Brian Blessed graces the Boys with his incredible life stories and sporting experiences!

Brian discusses his upbringing in South Yorkshire, listening to radio plays and reciting Shakespeare with his childhood friend Patrick Stewart, meeting his Boxing heroes, turning down a genuine Pablo Picasso original drawing which was handed to him by the man himself(!), getting Jackie Milburn’s autograph, playing the entire Manchester United football team with his local football team when he was young and many, many more incredible stories from a truly incredible man.

Let us know in the comments if you’ve ever turned down an original painting by a world famous artist!!! @StageDoorAthletic
