Freddie Flintoff’s Field of Dreams

Missed the first one last week, so after episode 2, I'm watching the 1st on iplayer. Obviously it was so sad to see Fred before his accident, in hospital and immediately after. But it was also sad to see the 2 lads of Pakistani-heritage left behind because their visas weren't issued, and to hear the history of the Afgani refugee lad.

Heartwarming and heartbreaking. What chance do lads like that have, it shows how with support, love and understanding and a purpose disadvantaged youngsters can be inspired and thrive, Freddie connects with them and I am so impressed how he genuinely cares and brings out the best in them. Ben talking those children in the orphanage was brilliant, who would have thought that!. A brilliant series. Wish al youngsters had some one to believe in them.

Very heart warming to see the bonding amongst the boys. I think in this series, the experience is benefitting Freddy’s mental health as much as the young lads. The love and support shown to each other is just wonderful to watch.

Watching and crying. Freddie is so caring with the lads. An absolute joy.
