Army Football Team Return After Successful Slovakia Tour

The British Army football team have returned home after going on a unique four-day tour of Slovakia. 
 
The men in red took on their Slovak counterparts during their stay, with the final score 4-1 to the Brits.
 
The tie also acted as the curtain raiser for a match between a PFA Legends side and an all-star Slovak outfit
 
The man who invited the team out there, meanwhile, has an interesting story himself.
 
Dr Jan Telensky is a Czech-born businessman who fled to England during the Soviet Invasion of 1968 and says his adopted home has opened up lots of opportunities, after he became a millionaire at the age of 29. 
 
Forces TV's Cath Brazier asked him why he has such strong affection for the British Armed Forces.
