Remember Najibullah Afghan who Sportsworld spoke to last Saturday?

He is the Afghan boy who lost sight in one eye and his brother was killed when a Taliban bomb went off.

Now educated in the UK, he ran the London Marathon last Sunday and finished within the top 10,000 runners after finishing with a time of four hours and three minutes.

He tells us he was delighted to have crossed the finish line and got almost a quarter of his sponsor money on from BBC viewers and listeners.

Well done to Najib and to everyone who sponsored him.

Here is Najib talking to Lee James about his love for a certain Premier League football club.
