The Works' Teams of Wales
Peter Jackson explores the legacy of the teams backed by Wales's big employers - from steel to aircraft to sweet makers - and how they helped shape the sporting landscape.
When steelmaking left Ebbw Vale it left a huge hole, but the name of the of the biggest employers' lives on. Why did the bowls club feel so attached to the industry that it decided to keep Richard, Thomas and Baldwin in its name? And why did the toffee firm Lovell's back sport to such an extent that they had their own cricket, baseball, cricket and tennis teams - and a soccer team big enough to take on Wolves in the FA Cup? And Peter Jackson hears how the aviation industry continues its support of Welsh sport.
