Floyd Steadman | A pioneer and an inspiration

Floyd Steadman blazed his own trail in 1980s rugby. A black scrum-half at a time when that was considered unusual, he became captain of Saracens and a key player for one of the sport's traditional powerhouses.

His career as an headteacher has been equally inspirational, becoming a role model to the likes of Maro Itoje.

But before he even set eyes on a rugby ball, Floyd had overcome - and continued to overcome - huge challenges in his life.

His story deserves to be heard.
