He is the only person to have won all of the honours available at club level at least twice and captained the Liverpool side to historic double in 1986. A keen tactical understanding of the game has made him the face of BBC’s televisions Match of the Day along with Gary Lineker. Alan also contributes a weekly newspaper column on soccer for The Daily Telegraph and has established a reputation as a very good motivational speaker.

Upon graduating from University, Alastair Humphreys left England to cycle round the world. His journey of 46,000 miles along the length of the Earth's three great landmasses (Africa, the Americas, Eurasia) took more than 4 years to complete. Adventurer Benedict Allen called the ride "an epic adventure". Sir Ranulph Fiennes, described by the Guinness Book of Records as ‘the world's greatest living explorer’, described Alastair's expedition as: "out of the ordinary". In today’s world of dashing up Everest in less than a day, sailing round the world in ten weeks, and best-selling books about three month motorbike rides, Alastair’s journey stands out as amazing.It was probably the first great adventure of the new Millennium. Alastair’s journey was an old-fashioned expedition: "long, lonely, low-budget and spontaneous. It was a life on the road rather than a whirlwind break from home." Away from friends and family for so long, Alastair's self-funded ride took him from the deserts of Sudan to a Siberian winter, from Albania to Zimbabwe, from the Dead Sea to Andean heights. It was a truly global journey, succeeding through the kindness of strangers -a vast, spontaneous support team- at a time where the interactions of our global community are more confused and troubled than ever.

Andy McNab joined the infantry in 1976 as a boy soldier. In 1984 he was badged as a member of 22 SAS Regiment. He served in B Squadron 22 SAS for ten years and worked on both covert and overt special operations worldwide, including anti-terrorist and anti-drug operations in the Middle and Far East, South and Central America and Northern Ireland. Trained as a specialist in counter terrorism, prime target elimination, demolitions, weapons and tactics, covert surveillance and information gathering in hostile environments, and VIP protection, McNab worked on co-operative operations with police forces, prison services, anti-drug forces and western backed guerrilla movements as well as on conventional special operations. In Northern Ireland he spent two years working as an undercover operator with 14th Intelligence Group, going on to become an instructor.

McNab also worked as an instructor on the SAS selection and training team and instructed foreign special forces in counter terrorism, hostage rescue and survival training In the Gulf War, McNab commanded the famous Bravo Two Zero patrol, an eight man patrol tasked with destroying underground communication links between Baghdad and north-west Iraq and with finding and destroying mobile Scud missile launchers. The patrol infiltrated Iraq in January 1991, but were soon compromised. A fierce fire fight with Iraqi troops ensued and the patrol was forced to escape and evade on foot to Syria.

Three of the eight men were killed; four were captured after three days on the run; one escaped. One of the four taken prisoner, McNab was held for six weeks and was relentlessly and savagely tortured. By the time he was released he was suffering from nerve damage to both hands, a dislocated shoulder, kidney and liver damage and had contracted hepatitis. After six months of medical treatment he was back on active service. The most highly decorated patrol since the Boer War, the truly heroic exploits of the Bravo Two Zero patrol have been recognised the world over and, in the words of the patrol's commanding officer 'will remain in Regimental history forever'. Awarded both the Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) and Military Medal (MM) during his military career, McNab was the British Army's most highly decorated serving soldier when he finally left the SAS in February 1993.
