Stuart Broadens sporting horizons

Apart from his knack of taking wickets, England quick Stuart Broad is also making his mark as a football manager ... sort of.

Broad, a Nottingham Forest fan, was top of the Fantasy Premier League table for the past week, scoring all of 180 points, which were more than almost six million players.

He led with 169 going into Thursday night’s final game of the week between West Ham and Manchester United, when a clean sheet for Hammers goalkeeper Adrian sealed his winning score.

“I enjoyed 8/15 in the Ashes, but leading gameweek 37 in Fantasy Football runs it close as a sporting achievement!” he said on Instagram before Thursday’s match.

Broad will receive a Premier League goodie bag for his efforts, although he is some way off the top in the overall standings where he is in 959 370th place. – Sports Staff
