Just over 10 years ago Ben Robinson died as a result of a brain injury caused by the repeated blows to the head he suffered during a school rugby match.

Since then, his father has been raising awareness about brain injuries, and he wants young sportspeople to be better protected from brain injuries.

Peter Robinson is his name, and he joined Kieran on Tuesday's edition of The Hard Shoulder.
