This week's edition of Sporting Heroes is a must-see as we profile legendary rugby player Martin Johnson.
With the British & Irish Lions in the early stages of their tour of Australia, the timing of a programme on the career of Johnson is timely, given he is the only man to have captained the side on two separate tours.
His first as skipper, the 1997 trip to South Africa, ended in a glorious 2-1 Test victory over the Springboks - Johnson's leadership immortalised in the famous documentary of the tour 'Living with Lions.'
A Leicester lock since 1989, when he began a Tigers career that spanned 17 years and over 350 games, Johnson made his England debut four years later in January of 1993 at the age of just 22.
A famous international career was born - culminating in the legendary image of Johnson hoisting the World Cup above his head in 2003 after a dramatic 20-17 extra-time final victory over Australia in Sydney.
When he finally called time on his playing career in 2006, he had also added five Premiership titles and two Heineken Cups to his trophy cabinet, and was quickly into top-level coaching when appointed England boss in 2008.
Although he drew criticism for his spell in charge of the Red Rose and resigned in November 2011, Johnson remains a legend of the sport.
He'll be discussing his career on the field for Leicester, England and the Lions on this week's show.
