In this month's episode of The English Breakfast I have the pleasure of speaking to Alex Tait, former Barnard Castle student and professional rugby player of Newcastle Falcons with caps also gained for England U-21's and U-19's.
There is no doubt that his time at Barnard Castle School (which incidentally is one of Study UK's partner schools) provided Alex not only with a love for rugby but over and above this the tools, business nous and wherewithal to go further once his professional career was over.
In this interview we talk about a wealth of things including the start of Alex's career whilst at school, the sacrifices he and his parents made to help him fulfil his dream, his time with Newcastle, working with the likes of Jonny Wilkinson and coach collosas Dean Richards, and then his retirement and subsequent founding of his own financial planning startup.
What was it like having a younger brother who also played for England? Was there any sibling rivalry? Why were they known as Itchy and Scratchy?
Find out all in this episode of The English Breakfast.
