Phil Davies from South Wales threw away a potential international career due to his violence on, and off, the pitch. He played for Bath, Aberavon and Bridgend but his ill-discipline often resulted in him being sent-off. After his marriage and business collapsed he noticed the change in the lives of his two friends, brothers Clive and Chris Jones, who had also been hard players in Welsh rugby. Intrigued by their new faith Phil explored it for himself, eventually also becoming a follower of Jesus Christ. The dramatic change in his life led him to start Sporting Marvels, an organisation bringing hope and transformation to young people in the Rhondda Valley. In this week's show Phil tells his remarkable story.
