Episode 4
Sporting legend Freddie Flintoff grapples with ensuring a lasting legacy for his unlikely new cricket teams across the north west of England.
As sporting legend Freddie Flintoff struggles to ensure a lasting impact on his new teams, in Manchester it’s crunch time when he’s forced to make a drastic decision to leave Newton Heath cricket club. But first, he must find his team a new home.
To help with the growing responsibility of managing all his new cricket teams, Freddie decides to expand his roster of coaches and calls on Adnan and Eli from his original squad to help. But when Eli turns up in Blackpool to coach the girls, the session doesn’t quite go to plan.
Meanwhile, in Blackpool, to help attract the next generation of young players to their club, some reluctant girls are roped in to deliver a cricket training session at a local primary school, with surprising and heartwarming results.
The months of hard training for all the teams culminate in a cricket festival, with the original Preston lads also making an appearance. But has Freddie managed to make an impact on the kids both on and off the pitch?
