A bit of sporting relief after the weekend’s BBC furore.

Something for most people here I should hope.

My favourite is of John Barnes back heeling a banana off the pitch.
Closely followed by Bolt’s grin.

I dunno if this in the fifty, but I've always loved this one for the pure sportsmanship. Magnificnent.

Class.

Incredible mix. I loved many. Second was the Bill Beaumont long jump for the perspectives in one photo. First was something I never believed could happen.

100ft wave always stops me.

There are a few documentaries about Nazaré, well worth a watch.
