Allan Cockram - 'They Have No Filter'


Listen Later

After retiring from professional football, Allan Cockram established a football team for people with Down's Syndrome, the Brentford Penguins.

Now a documentary called Mighty Penguins has been made about the team, which has been shown at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York.

I spoke to Allan about his football career and journey through life, the Penguins and how the team has changed his life and the lives of those who are part of the team.
