Rugby league correspondent Dave Woods travels to the Greece team hotel in Sheffield to find out about their truly incredible journey to the World Cup.

From playing matches at midnight in secret because the sport was banned in Greece, to a match against England at the World Cup – this is a story that has it all.

Head coach Steve Georgallis has been there since the very beginning, while Terry Constantinou was born in Australia but wears the shirt with pride.

Greg Koutsimporgiorgos and Aris Dardamanis grew up in Greece and came to the game late – and have overcome adversity to reach the World Cup.
Stuart McLennan looks after the media for the team and is the manager of the women’s side. And all of them tell Dave their truly inspiring stories.
