True sports

OH, FOR the days when England cricketers wore plain white shirts with the sleeves rolled up, were clean-shaven, with no tattoos, didn’t sit on the balcony with their feet up on the railings and had a cuppa at the tea interval.

When footballers enjoyed playing the game, shook hands when they scored a goal and were paid an ordinary weekly wage.

When golfers didn’t take money from the Saudis.

Those were the days when it was all about sportsmanship.
