Weekend Edition: Boris Becker - from Wimbledon glory to serving time - The Sports Agents

Three-time Wimbledon champion Boris Becker joins Gabby and Mark on The Sports Agents to talk about his time in prison.

The former world number one was sentenced to over two years in jail after going bankrupt. So how did he go from tennis glory to prison? What was it like living with murderers and drug dealers? And how did he feel watching Wimbledon from a jail cell?

Plus, we look back at the best bits from this week's shows about England winning the Rugby World Cup, Europe storming to Ryder Cup glory and the fight to become one of football's top managers.

Boris Becker's memoir, “Inside: Winning, Losing & Starting Again” is out now .
