World Cup winner Phil Vickery tears up as England rugby teammate Ben Cohen reveals he had to sell World Cup medal to get through Covid
England rugby hero Ben Cohen has revealed he sold his World Cup winner’s medal to help him survive the Covid-19 pandemic.
The former wing, who won 57 England caps, recently lifted the lid on his financial woes sparked by what he described as lack of skill set and life skills due to his devotion to rugby. Host Jim White read out a caller's message that said: “A degree for you would be nice, sure, but that's nothing to what you gave us that day. Please don't ever underestimate that, Ben. You gave us that day, and you still give us it.”
"That for me has been horrendous to try and pay that off. I came close to losing my house, I paid a fortune over and above what my initial policy was. But I wouldn’t be the only one in it."
