WINNERS

Children of the 60s

Who got another chance to sing Daydream Believer when Davy Jones, ex-Monkee, rode a winner at Lingfield.

Charlie Nicholas

Who earned the chance to turn back the clock and take on his old enemy, Rangers, in the Scottish Cup by scoring for his current employers, Clyde.

Ray Illingworth

For getting through a week without an England cricket scandal, if only because there was no England cricket.

The Rugby Football Union

Who managed, for possibly the first time in history, to look relatively forward-thinking with their incredulous response to the International Board's decision to slap a 180-day rule on cross-country transfers.

Jim Telfer

Who yet again has turned a Scottish rugby side who

started the season being written off into Grand Slam contenders.

LOSERS

Roger Stanislaus

The Orient footballer, whose nose for trouble got him a one-year ban for cocaine use

Jack Rowell

Whose England rugby players again failed to deliver what they promised.

Ian Wright

Captain of Arsenal for a day; missed a penalty which cost his side victory against Coventry City.

Jean-Claude Skrela

If Jack Rowell feels bad, just think what his French counterpart must be thinking after watching the heroes of the autumn series against the All Blacks caving in at Murrayfield.
