The drunken incident that led to Andrew Flintoff giving up alcohol

Andrew Flintoff recounts a drunken incident which saw him escorted off an aeroplane in front of hundreds of England football fans.

"They thought I was the Messiah, they chanted my name" said the former England cricket captain. "But I wasn't happy, it's something that will never ever happen again".

The two-time Ashes winner revealed the shame he felt afterwards was a factor in his decision to stop drinking.

This clip is from Flintoff, Savage and the Ping Pong Guy on Monday 6 March 2017.
