Sporting Misadventures with Chris Hoy

Alastair Campbell

Season 3, Ep. 26

Not many people can claim to have had a private kickabout with Diego Maradona at Old Trafford but this week's guest has. The former No10 spin doctor turned co-host of the Rest is Politics also nearly had a sporting punch-up with Piers Morgan, set up the Geoffrey Boycott fan club and had an episode where cold water swimming went horribly wrong.
