Peter Winterbottom was a respected (and feared) player. His desire to challenge himself was immense, playing at highest level with the Lions, but also playing in both NZ & South Africa.More recently, he's taken on HUGE endurance challenges to raise funds & awareness for various charities, including the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation. I was delighted when he made some time for a chat with me ahead of the Matt Ratana Marauders v MND Barbarians game on Sunday Mat 4th. Happiness is Wints ShapedSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/happiness-is-with-bruce-aitchison.

Anyone who listens to me will know...I think what makes rugby special is the people you meet, the relationships you build, the experiences you share, the places you go, and the memories you make.I went to Amsterdam as coach of the Penguins men's XV squad. It was the first tour where the men and women went together. I met Vivian Bahlmann. She is incredible! She is positivity in human form. I absolutely loved getting to know her, and I've watched her journey from afar.I was absolutely delighted when she found some time to chat with me. I loved it. I hope you enjoy listening. Glück hat die Form eines EiesSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/happiness-is-with-bruce-aitchison. Hosted on Acast.
