England rugby star fools 5 live phone-in
Wasps captain and England international James Haskell tells Sonja McLaughlan about the time he made it onto a 5 live phone-in as James from Coventry.
After hearing a debate about the legacy of the Rio Olympics, Haskell phoned up Nicky Campbell's Your Call to contribute but nobody recognised the England rugby star.
Haskell said: "The bloke said to me on the phone, 'what is your name' I said James Haskell. He said 'what do you do' I said I play rugby.
"Then somebody called me back and said they were going to put me on and the best thing was Nicky said, 'we have got James from Coventry. I think you said you play a bit of rugby?' I went yes I do.
"I do not know who was more embarrassed me or him but I just wanted to make my point, maybe because I am injured and had no-one to talk to I thought I would share it with the nation."
