Danny Mills: The pride & agony of watching son George at the World Athletics Championships

Gabby & Mark are joined by the former Premier League defender Danny Mills, who's just landed in Tokyo to watch his son - GB's George Mills - try to win gold in the 5000m at the World Athletics Championships this weekend.

Danny talks openly about both the pride and agony of following his son's athletics career and marvels at the extreme level of dedication it requires in comparison to football!

Plus, Chappers has a theory about why more managers don't watch their teams from the stands like PSG boss Luis Enrique and Gabby calls on her beloved Newcastle to evoke the spirit of Tino Asprilla against Barcelona at St James Park on Thursday night.
