Hero Ice Hockey fan on saving the life of the Vancouver Canucks’ Brian Hamilton

Ice Hockey fan Nadia Popovici tells us how she helped save the life of Vancouver Canucks assistant equipment manager Brian Hamilton after she spotted a cancerous mole on the back of his neck during a game between the Canucks and the Seattle Kraken. She warned him about the mole by banging on the plexiglass and typing a message on her phone. Popovici says she’s grateful Hamilton took her advice and had the mole removed as it was found to be cancerous. The Canucks and Kraken have then come together to award Popovici a ten thousand dollar scholarship to help with her costs at medical school. The president of World Netball – Liz Nicholl – tells us she believes the sport still has a huge role to play across the Commonwealth as we approach the 2022 Commonwealth Games. The event in Birmingham is the last Commonwealth Games in which Netball – along with a host of other sports – is guaranteed a place. Craig Bromfield joins us to discuss how a chance encounter with Brian Clough as a child led the legendary football manager to take Craig and his brother under his wing. The pair ended up travelling to games on Nottingham Forest’s team coach, sitting in the dug-out and spending holidays with the Clough family. On FA Cup third round weekend, we’re joined live by the manager of Kidderminster Harriers. Russell Penn’s side go into their tie against Reading as the lowest ranked team still left in the competition.Image: Nadia Popovici and Vancouver Canucks Brian Hamilton (Photo by Christopher Mast/NHLI via Getty Images)
