Sir Mo Farah paid tribute to the PE teacher which helped transform his life from illegal immigrant to Britain's most successful track athlete in modern Olympics history.
In an astonishing revelation during a BBC documentary - The Real Mo Farah - which aired on Wednesday night, the four-time Olympic gold medallist opened up about the secret he had been running away from for over 30 years.
Mohamed Farah is not his real name. He revealed he was born Hussein Abdi Kahin in Somaliland and that he is an illegal immigrant, who was smuggled into the UK by traffickers when he was nine.
