Looking back at Glasgow 2014 with Charlie Flynn

Jun 14, 2024 26 min

"I'm buzzing like a jar of wasps" and "The mail man delivers, once again!" just some of the iconic quotes from Charlie Flynn during the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. Charlie was only 20 years old when he burst on the scene in Glasgow. Going into the games he was relatively unknown but by the end of it, everyone knew exactly who he was. From his incredible performances in the ring to his unforgettable interviews, Charlie was the man everyone was talking about. In this latest Glasgow 2014 special, we hear about Charlie's own experience throughout the games, the attention it brought and the injury challenges he faced in the aftermath, once he turned pro. *Unfortuntately the audio is quite crackly at some points throughout this episode when Charlie is speaking, we hope it doesn't take anything away from his incredible stories.
