Right now I feel like I'm on a rocket that's about to take off. Damon Hill, the newly crowned Formula One world champion.

It is a very sad day for English football. Players get stick all the time from the fans, but it seems you cannot have a go back these days. Mark Bosnich, the Aston Villa goalkeeper, attempts to explain why he gave a "Nazi" salute to Tottenham supporters at White Hart Lane.

I am sure it is a joke that backfired. Alan Sugar, the Spurs chairman.

English football got it right with Alan Shearer. Even though he failed to score an international goal for so long, very few questioned his place in the team. Graeme Hick, who believes he should have not been dropped from the England cricket team - despite inconsistency.
