The boys are back for more in the second helping of this week's podcast. Each week Mike Bubbins, Elis James and Steff Garrero takes turns to choose a sports documentary. This time around, after some confusion, Elis picked another edition of the BBC's "Welsh Sporting Greats" series. In the spotlight is Merthyr Tydfil's world champion boxer Howard Winstone, he lost the tips of three fingers on his right hand at age 16 in a factory accident, adapted his style to rely on a world-class left jab, and went on to be World Featherweight Champion. It's also Elis' choice for the Book of the Week. "Without Robbie" which tells the story of legendary Swansea City and Wales footballer Robbie James, who tragically died of a heart attack on the pitch at age 40.
