After having his turn in the batting cages, Flintoff asks Sean if he had ever played before to which the teen replies no.
Touching on his conversation with the teenage lad, Flintoff says: "He's obviously got a lot of energy, it just needs channelling in the right area, not looking for a fight. He shouldn't be sat on Moor Park drinking vodka." Agreeing with Flintoff that he worries about what Sean does away from school he adds: "Like with school today, he's gone out of school with some friends around park so I've been rung and had to go pick him up so god knows what they were doing.
He said: "I did go to school with kids like Sean and you often sit and think, what happened to him? Some of the stories I've heard of the kids I went school with aren't particularly good.
