Taming of a Villain
This is the story of Allen Langham, a former professional rugby league player with a promising future, who threw it all away on the path of drinks, drugs, and organised crime. Struggling with the legacy of a broken family and a troubled past, Allen soon fell into the arms of addiction, playing out his frustrations and anger within an arena of violence. In and out of prison, something had to change, and in 2013 Allen had a dramatic encounter with Jesus Christ and became a born-again Christian. This is the true story of a journey from darkness into light. It is testament to the power of God to change us and send us out as his servants as we take the good news and story of hope to those who need it the most.
The same streets that Allen terrorised, he now serves, bringing a message of hope to those lost and struggling. He is the father of three children, founder and director of Steps To Freedom and is a sports chaplain for Sports Chaplaincy UK. In 2014 he won the Most Inspirational Individual at the CVS awards and has been recognised as an individual whose story captivates the hardest of hearts.
