The 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa is now well underway. United States goalkeeper Tim Howard was named Man of the Match aftter the USA's 1-1 draw with England last Saturday. He talks about his best moment in football and the impact of his faith as a follower of Jesus Christ. Clayton Blackmore played over 250 games for Manchester United between 1982 and 1994. He also played 39 times for Wales and today he is still playing first team football at the age of 45. Norman Brierley spoke to him about his playing career, past and present, Manchester United's relatively poor season by their own high standards and asked him who he is supporting at the World Cup. Gavin Peacock (right) played for Chelsea in the 1990s and memorably scored the only goal of the game in both league matches against Manchester United in the 1993-94 season. He talks to us about those goals and his relationship with Jesus Christ.
