After he arrived at Cheltenham he spoke to BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"I've just started cycling today and come thirty miles down to Cheltenham. A bit wet but otherwise okay. It's November!

"The task is to go around all the Division Two League clubs and try and raise money for Multiple Sclerosis at the same time.

"When I looked it was about a thousand miles so I thought I might as well do all the Premiership clubs as well. I've ended up with sixty-one clubs including a few others I pass on the way."

Asked by Malcolm Boyden if he was a keen cyclist he replied that he wasn't.

"I did cycle from Lands End to John O'Groats but I not exactly the fittest speciman. I didn't even get on a bike for about a year after the John O'Groats. I'd seem enough of the bike thank you."

Asked about the Charity for whom Rob is raising money:

"My wife Eunise has got MS. You feel so helpless when somebody close to you has got that sort of problem.

"All the money, every penny - I'm paying my own expenses - is going to the Hereford and District MS Society."
