England rugby ace Jason Robinson, OBE, finally hung up his boots at the end of the 2010-11 season, the last act of his career on the pitch being helping Lancashire side Fylde to promotion to National League One.
Since then, however, the former Sale Sharks, England and British Lions full-back has been keeping busy, launching his own leisurewear brand, while working as a rugby ambassador with HSBC.
Robinson has recently returned from a trip to Bahrain and Abu Dhabi promoting the game at grassroots level.
‘It was brilliant,’ he says. ‘I hadn’t been to the Middle East before and it was great to meet people out there both from the expat and the local community.
