A chance meeting

Going about my business yesterday, I heard on good authority a great anecdote. Last week a former player at a leading elite sports club attended an official annual dinner for his peers.

Telegraph list of 100 greatest British sportsmen and women

The Telegraph have launched a initiative to establish who are the 100 greatest sportspeople Britain has produced.

The Final Day

Needless to say it was still raining. This had affected the trip as at no stage could we comfortably stroll around the city, enjoy the Retiro Park or outdoor cafe and restaurant life. Nonetheless we could enjoy the indoor activities of the art museums and in Alan and Ivan’s case football at [...]
