We Could Be Heroes

We Could Be Heroes From Wife-Carrying to Snail Racing: Two Blokes, One Van, Twelve World Championships Tom Fordyce and Ben Dirs Ben and Tom’s 2007 Rugby World Cup blog was the most read website that BBC Sport has ever had. Ben and Tom are a classic odd couple who become funnier when together, particularly when they’re forced to travel in a camper van. So could one, if not both, of them become a world champion at something? The boys hired a decrepit vehicle and set off round Europe in search of a title. From coal-carrying to wife-carrying, nettle-eating to shin-kicking, the result is a hilarious trip as Ben and Tom dare each other to be a hero. Tom Fordyce and Ben Dirs are the best “ball-by-ball” commentators on the BBC website, covering cricket, rugby, tennis, and athletics to a committed fan base.
