The show went straight to #1, and was described as "superbly insightful... gripping stuff" by The Times, "meticulously told... a vivid picture" by The Radio Times, and "surprisingly good" (paraphrase) by The Grauniad. The show was shortlisted for 'Best Documentary' at the 2024 NYF Awards, and I was nominated for 'Best Sports Producer' at the 2023 Audio Production Awards.
