BILLIE JEAN KING
THE winner of 39 Grand Slam titles, the American’s talent on the tennis court needs no underlining. But for those who aren’t aware of how much she did in the name of women’s rights on and off the court, a new film can serve as a reminder. Battle of the Sexes is out next month and is brilliant.

THE Billericay Town owner-cum-manager was this week named the second most powerful person in Essex, behind Alan Sugar. I have no idea who votes for this nor why such a list even exists.

Billericay have won nine out of 10 in the Isthmian League Premier Division and are still in the FA Cup too.
AJAX

The clip went down a storm on Twitter, leading Feyenoord fans to claim it was all a set-up for social media. Dutch football: more entertaining off the field than on.
