In a special series of shows, 'Great Sporting Moments' looks at exactly that--those moments when time seemed to stand still, those moments etched forever in our memories: Jack Nicklaus's remarkable show of sportsmanship during the 1969 Ryder Cup; Liverpool's memorable Champions League comeback; South Africa's historic Rugby World Cup victory on home soil; Nadia Comaneci's perfect 10; Botham's Ashes of 1981 and many more. We talk to the biggest names in sport around the globe, documenting their thoughts, opinions and memories of these historic occasions and of course show all the relevant action.
SPORTING MAVERICKS: Certain sports stars reach the pinnacle through talent and endeavour. Others fall just short. The Mavericks have a foot in both camps--these are the sporting stars we love for more than just their talent. From 'El Beatle', George Best, to the wild man of tennis, John McEnroe; from the Wild Thing of the golf course, John Daly, to the star of the ring, Prince Naseem; headlines have been made and not always for the right reasons. Peaks have followed troughs; fortunes have been won and lost. On and off the field, these are the stars who played the games their own way. Each show will feature action and interviews to illustrate just what made these stellar names different from the rest.
