Former England cricketer Andrew Flintoff has told the Today programme that he turned down scholarships at public schools as a teenager.

"I finished school at quarter to three and I was home at three o'clock and I could watch Dallas on UK Gold", he explained.

Flintoff also told Garry Richardson that he played football as a child "for acceptance more than anything" as cricket was seen as a "posh sport".
