Dave lost his legs

PLAYING in the UK's smallest football league brings it's own place in history, but being David Beckham's body double brings a whole new level of fame. The Isles of Scilly Football League sees the Woolpack Wanderers do battle against the Garrison Gunners 17 times every season. The fame of the island's league soon saw a host of big name stars arrive on the island in 2007, including David Beckham , Steven Gerrard, Patrick Vieira, Anderson Daniele De Rossi and Michael Ballack. The group had arrived on the island for a training session with young footballer before kicking back to relax on the beach with some fish and chips. But as the press arrived Beckham and Co soon had to leave, which led to league chairman Anthony Gibbons' unique claim to fame. In an interview with the B BC , Gibbons said "A guy from St Martin's phoned the press to say Beckham was here, so a load of helicopters came over and he had to go.

A DOG-LOVER says his pet is so big that people mistake it for a lion and sheepishly cross the road when the pair go for walkies.

HE has not lost his ability to run with the ball. This Man City legend gave fans a reminder of his dribbling skills as a Rangers legends side played a World XI on Sunday. Picking the ball up in the middle of the park, ex-Gers star Nikica Jelavic gave a wry smile as his opponent wriggled away from him in the centre circle. It was a sight fans at Maine Road saw regularly in the 1990s, when this 5ft8in midfielder would slalom his way through a team's defence with incredible guile and close control. He joined the club in 1995, following a loan spell with Boca Juniors and his career at a crossroads. But he would soon become a cult figure, scoring a slew of stunning goals.

A TOURIST who almost died after a violent mugging on holiday in Britain spent the next four years in hospital and had 65 operations to rebuild his shattered skull. Ben Finlan, from Toronto in Canada , suffered multiple skull fractures and brain bleeds after he was mugged outside a bar in central London - with his attackers still at large today. Medics told Ben's family to fly from Canada to London immediately, as they were unsure whether he would survive the night. Part of his skull was removed in an emergency brain decompression surgery to save his life - but the titanium mesh it was replaced with became infected, leading to more life-threatening complications. Ben's family and his girlfriend Katherine Smith moved to London to be with him during his four-year recovery in hospital following the brutal attack on December 3, 2018.

Every game counts, and the Nets just chalked one. On the second leg of a back-to-back, in a game with explicit playoff implications, the Nets ran out of gas at Orlando’s Amway Center and lost to the Magic, 119-106. It marked Brooklyn’s sixth loss in their last seven games following Saturday’s convincing victory over the Miami Heat. “Really we didn’t make shots, if you want to boil it down to one particular thing,” head coach Jacque Vaughn said postgame. “Guys gave what they had tonight, across the board. “It’s a tough one, a tough one. We come off a good win and the message to the guys is we’re gonna have to earn every single win we get.” The Nets are now tied with the Heat (40-34) but retain their standing as the Eastern Conference’s sixth seed because they hold the tiebreaker, having swept Miami in the season series, 4-0. If only the Nets could say the same about the lottery-bound Magic, who own a bottom-six record in all of basketball. Vaughn emptied the bench with … [Read more...] about Nets fall in Orlando, 119-106, lose 6th in last 7
