The British press sucks at anything thats not doom laden. They are also seriously unable to write anything remotely intelligent when it comes to sport, bunch of cut and paste merchants

Another fantastic race for John, he will without doubt win a few this year imo.

90% of the British sports coverage is football, everything else is fighting for the remaining 10% but the old boys club with their rugby, cricket, tennis and golf dominate that, I truly believe F1 would barely get a sniff in if it wasn't for Lewis Hamilton as well.

Those were the days!!!

Fantastic start for John, He did show his promise in 2014 and 15 but always seemed to stack it on the last few laps.
About time some of the big money players in the uk have started to back the younger talent in off the tv sports, Just a shame it's fcuking BT!

Hopefully John will finally shine this year, and Young Skinner is on it next

I was born 5 days before World of Sport ended, I do remember seeing bike racing on Grandstand though.

Well the 1st went west and Dickie is/was a director of a frozen food company, not 100% on that now as he is almost 84, he also plays golf.

Here's a few more...

Mick McMannus, Bad Boy Bobby Barnes, Rollerball Rocco, The Mighty John Quinn, Catweazle, Black Jack Mulligan, Jim Breaks, Tally-Ho Kaye, Iron Fist Clive Myers, Tiger Dalibar Singh - and Alan Kirby..(who apparently wasn't deaf at all).

Then it was time for the classified football results.

Great race for John 19th to 3rd, felt sorry for Bendsnyder, that Ramirez should be taken to one side, he's an idiot.
