A Glaswegian pro wrestler, who credits the sport for turning his life around, is passing his life lessons on to children to stop them following his "bad path".

Ravie Davie – real name David McCallum - struggled to cope after his mother died when he was six. As a teenager he was "in and out of prison" after he got into trouble with gangs in his native Govan.

Now the 31-year-old runs a wrestling school in the area and recently took over Linthouse Church to use as its base.
