We were delighted to be joined by rugby league legend, James Graham. James has played for St Helens, won two Super League Grand Finals and 3 Challenge Cups and was named Man of Steel in 2008. His career took him to Australia to play in the NRL where he played for Canterbury Bulldogs, where he won 2 NRL finals, St George Illawarra Dragons.
He also has 44 caps for England and 9 caps for Great Britain.
In this episode, we discussed his highly decorated career, his life after the sport and the realities of the sport with concussion, what the game can do, the reality of knowing there are potential health implications vs the life it lets you live and the platform it gives you.
This episode is a brilliant companion episode to the podcast with Dr Willie Stewart on concussion.
This was a really interesting episode and we hope you enjoy.
