J UDGEMEN T S: Winners and losers of the last seven days
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.
