Rower Thomas taking inspiration from Flintoff documentary
Rowing ace Graeme Thomas is taking inspiration from Freddie Flintoff as he looks to emulate his fellow Prestonian by opening up new sporting avenues for the city's youngsters. Thomas, 33, was gripped by the former cricketer's Field of Dreams TV show which saw him introduce the sport to a band of teenagers from deprived backgrounds, many of whom had never played or watched the sport before. Ad The single sculler recognises similar barriers to access within his sport and is determined to play his part in knocking them down close to home.
