Sublime thrill to walk past Paul Weller on Oxford Street this afternoon. At least, I think it was him. I’m guessing he’d been down in the tube station at midday.

Decathlon 1500 metres is a peerless sporting spectacle.

After a glimpse of Estonia’s decathletes - I have no concerns about NATO’s strength. #eurochamps

Does @dan_routledge know, what percentage of currently active basketball players called ‘Johnson’ have at one point signed for Leicester @RidersBball ? It feels like every Johnson except Magic.

Really, we should all be grateful for the crisis in German football. It may stop Jurgen Klopp doing commercials.

Correct me if I’m wrong. But I THINK I just saw David Beckham in a commercial.

World Cup 2026: USA pioneer Desmond Armstrong and his legacy

When Desmond Armstrong faced the media at the World Cup in 1990, the first question he got was one that would stick in his mind for the wrong reasons.

So pleased to bring this piece together. Thanks to @Everton and @SOGreatBritain and of course to Jack Grealish. Have wanted to talk to him about disability and sport for many years. Great to do that for @BBCBreakfast with @rasheedspeede

'I think inclusion is a massive part' On #BBCBreakfast footballer Jack Grealish treated some of the 10 Special Olympics GB athletes who completed the London marathon to a VIP tour of Everton's stadium bbc.com/sport/videos/c79r175…

It’s a few decades since I last took part in this…well, the ONE time I took part in this. Madness. But - of course - a Medbourne fan for life.

Since 1770 the village of Hallaton has had an annual Easter Monday battle with locals from the neighbouring village of Medbourne. The day starts with Hare Pie-Scrambling where pieces of pie are blessed and thrown into the crowd, followed by a sport with few rules; Bottle-Kicking.

1978: Easter Monday is the time for Pie-Scrambling and Bottle-Kicking.

Easter Monday is not a quiet day in Hallaton, Leicestershire. Since 1770 the village has had an annual battle with locals from the neighbouring village of Medbourne.
