    Coe vs Ovett: Moscow 1980 & The rivalry that divided a nation - How It All Played Out

    "It was a f**k up from beginning to end. Every mistake you can make in the 800 I made. Too far off the back, too wide, too diffident, no logic that day" - Seb Coe From the late 1970s to the mid-1980s, Britain ruled the world of middle-distance running. At the heart of this golden era stood two legends: Sebastian Coe, the Yorkshire-born record breaker, and Steve Ovett, the tough competitor from Brighton. Their fierce rivalry built towards the 1980 Moscow Olympics - but what unfolded stunned fans from both sides of the divide and redefined athletics history. In this episode of How It All Played Out, ITV’s Mark Pougatch and The Observer’s Paul Hayward revisit Margaret Thatcher’s divided Britain to explore the infamous “Tough vs Toff” clash that gripped a nation. Despite only racing head-to-head seven times in 17 years, Coe vs Ovett became one of sport’s greatest rivalries, combining politics, class, and raw athletic brilliance. Relive the drama of the 800m and 1500m finals in Moscow 1980: the crushing pressure, the mind games, the upsets, and the unforgettable battles between two British icons. This is the story of style versus strength, grit versus grace, and how two athletes pushed each other into the history books. If you love stories of Olympic glory, athletic rivalries, and the golden age of track and field, this episode is for you. Remember to follow or subscribe, and give us a 5 star review too!

    How Ricky Hatton became the true people's champion

    Gabby & Mark celebrate the life of a true British sporting icon, “The Hitman” Ricky Hatton. A ferocious fighter who turned boxing into spectacle for an army of fans at a time when the sport seemed lost. A superstar and a proud Mancunian who you genuinely felt like you could go for a drink with and talk about the football, or Oasis. When he descended on Las Vegas to face Floyd Mayweather, it was as if half of the UK had followed him... His best night? Shocking the great Kostya Tszyu, 20 years ago, in front of a sold out Manchester Arena - Hatton stepped out of the shadows and we fell in love with him. In retirement he was open about struggles with his own mental health, helping countless people by being brave enough, outside the ring, to talk about it. Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn discusses the blueprint Hatton laid for the modern UK boxing superstar, Sky Boxing's Andy Clarke reflects on the public's adoration for him and trainer Adam Booth weighs in on his unique skillset. 📩 Got a question?

    Sven-Goran Eriksson: The story of England's first foreign manager - How It All Played Out

    After Kevin Keegan resigned in the men's loos at Wembley in 2000, the FA decided to hire their first foreign England manager - Sven Goran-Eriksson. He paved the way for Thomas Tuchel, who leads England at the World Cup qualifiers this international break.  With Sven, the FA got much more than they bargained for. A man with a love for the game, life and women - Eriksson often graced the front and back pages of the newspapers.  He led the golden generation of Beckham and Rooney, but despite that talent Sven fell short at the quarter-finals.  So why did the FA decide to open up to foreign managers? Did Eriksson's off-field lifestyle hamper England or was it simply a combination of bad luck, broken metatarsals and the penalty shoot out hoodoo?   Remember to follow or subscribe, and give us a 5 star review too!
