It's a great photo of sportsmanship not a great sporting photo.

Australia just lost a very very close test match in the 2005 Ashes series. Flintoff's first reaction after taking the final wicket was not to jump up and down and to gloat, it was to go to the valiant batsman (Brett Lee - who is in fact was a bowler) to commiserate and applaud his heroic effort to save the game. Elevted Flintoff to level of genuine sportsman.

That is almost perfection isn't it, any sports photographer would give their right arm to capture that split second when all the defenders are focused on him.

All the more so because it's Maradona. Wouldn't have been quite so impactive if it had been Peter Reid on the ball.

We should rename this: 'A thread full of copyright infringement' :thumbsup:

It's OK because they're all nicked from other similar sites anyway, which makes it ALRIGHT :lolol:

Anyway....

theres an amazing photo at work of James Kirtley making a catch for England, he's literally horizontal 4" off the ground with no part of his body touching the grass when he has the ball in his hand. I'll take a phone pic of it tomorrow and post it if I remember! (tried a google search but cant find it)

And they havent got a clue what he's going to do with it. Best player ever.
