He went from a convicted armed robber, facing a double life sentence, to a sponsored Ironman triathlete. John McAvoy joins Gabby and Mark on today's show to talk about growing up in the family responsible for the biggest armed robbery in Britain, his final car chase with the police, being in prison with the 7/7 bombers, and eventually breaking world records and rowing with Olympians.

A dressing room mutiny at Marseille with Roberto de Zerbi refusing to train players (will the drama ever end at that club!). French football writer George Boxall brings us up to speed.

We react to a tearful Grand National, Southampton's relegation and Sale's Champions Cup tie where a paratrooper got stuck on the stadium roof while parachuting in the match ball. Plus, Mark shares his best Masters memory as he heads to Augusta.
