Miami, 2014.



Frazzled England gaffer Roy Hodgson throws on Ricky Lambert in a desperate bid to break the deadlock against 10 man Honduras.



The match finishes 0-0, and England’s darkest decade rolls on.

But for all their misery on the pitch, England’s stars did have fun off it: stripping on webcams, seshing at strip clubs and shoplifting from B&Q.

This is the story of England: the banter years…

Has Matt Le Tissier finally lost his mind?

In the 1990s, F1 was filled with reckless mavericks.

They trashed hotel rooms, teargassed taxi drivers and had trysts with princesses on car bonnets.

From pitlane punch-ups to the rise of Katie Price, this is the story of F1’s naughty nineties…

The 1990s were a different time. You could smoke on planes, recite your best friend’s phone number, and get noshed off in the Oval Office.

And the biggest star on the planet was a tight-fisted genius from Teachy, North Carolina: Michael Jordan.

He broke bread with drug barons, paid off his mistresses and lost $100k on a game of  rock paper scissors.

From cocaine in the dressing room to measuring his son’s knob, this is his story…

Conor McGregor: tell him I’m his daddy | Part two

Conor McGregor was once considered a combat genius who ranked alongside Sun Tzu, Bruce Lee and Fionn mac Cumhaill.

But then came the cocaine, convictions and carnage.

In September 2024 the world was a very different place. 

Sleepy Joe was in the White House, The United Strand had a short back and sides, and Ruben Amorim was the most vaunted young coach in Europe.

Snake River Canyon, Idaho 1973.
A baying mob of drunken biker gangs and bloodthirsty thrill-seekers watch on, as a lunatic in a star spangled jumpsuit is strapped to a military rocket.

He bunked up with Charles Manson, spunked $20m on chinchilla fur coats and smashed the world record for broken bones.
From month-long comas to robbing banks with dynamite, buckle in for the unhinged tale of Evel Kneivel.
Do not try this at home…
