Fair Play

Re: Fair Play

Marc Overmars (aka the dutch winger) scored the goal, but it was Kanu who mistakenly 'played on' when the ball was supposed to be sent back to Sheffield United after they had kicked it out to stop play for an injured player. Wenger's replay offer was accepted.

That's it, Overmars.


I think I also remember him saying "I'm not suprised I was considered a good player in England. The standard of wingers in England is very poor"

Re: Fair Play

Sarah Tucholsky, a 5'2", .153 lifetime hitter for Western Oregon, hit her first-ever home run to move her team closer to its first appearance in the NCAA playoffs. But rounding first, she tore a ligament in her knee, leaving her unable to walk.

The umpires ruled she would be credited with a single. Then, opposing first baseman Mallory Holtman, the conference all-time home run leader, asked the umpires if she could help Tucholsky complete her home run. The umpires consented.

Holtman and teammate Liz Wallace picked up Tucholsky and carried her to each base, giggling as they wondered what the fans must be thinking. As they lowered Tucholsky to touch home, they saw fans weeping and cheering. Tucholsky's team won, 4-2.

Re: Fair Play

That is one of the most inspiring acts of sportsmanship I have ever seen. That is what sport is all about.

Re: Fair Play

Found this one.

Let me set the scene here. The team in yellow (RKC Waalwijk) put the ball out of play because of an injury to a red and white (Ajax) player. From the resulting throw in, an Ajax player plays what he thinks is a harmless pass back toward his opposing goalie. The comedy of errors that follows is priceless.
