Tanni Grey-Thompson broke 30 world records, holds 16 Paralympic medals, and has won the London marathon six times. Not bad for a girl who started training in a multi-storey carpark, with a coach who hadn’t worked with a wheelchair user before. But after disappointing results in Atlanta ‘96, Tanni faces calls to retire. However, she silences her critics four years later with another gold medal sweep.

In the biggest match of his life, Rooney suffers a catastrophic injury and England crash out of Euro 2004 on penalties. With the press out for blood, Rooney’s private life becomes front page news. Things go from bad to worse at the 2006 World Cup, when a certain Cristiano Ronaldo becomes the most famous winker in history. And Elis reveals he might have a winking problem of his own.

Wenger and Ferguson’s rivalry is about to reach fever pitch. It starts with a young Portuguese player, a star in the making, who is courted by both Wenger and Fergie. Arsène responds by taking his team to new invincible heights. And then a projectile slice of pepperoni pizza blows everything up. If that’s not enough, “a special one” is about to enter the fray.

The rivalry is heating up. Wenger’s Arsenal is closing in on Manchester United, and the bigwigs at Man U aren’t happy. Ferguson, still reeling from Cantona’s kung-fu kick, is called in for crisis talks. On the pitch, Wenger and Ferguson continue to clash. There’s a double, a treble, two more league titles - and a bombshell from Fergie. Meanwhile, Colin and Elis get giddy rewatching the 1999 FA Cup semi-final replay.

A chain-smoking, tracksuit-wearing Arsène Wenger gets his big break in the Premier League after a solid performance at a game of charades. His arrival at Arsenal from Japan, and the broccoli and yoga he brings with him, ruffle a few feathers - especially those of Manchester United stalwart Alex Ferguson. But a particularly acrobatic pitch-side display from Eric Cantona is about to send Fergie, and United, into a spin. Meanwhile, Elis’ poor charades performance confirms that he will never manage Arsenal.
