Sportsmasters
Synopsis
Where Dickie Davies was put out to pasture after World of Sport had finished, this was A Question of Sport meets Mastermind, only with a much broader and less deep knowledge than that required for Sports Anorak of the Year.
Key moments
One classic moment concerned a contestant had been asked to name a cricketer having been shown a picture of an (obviously Australian) batsmen playing an attacking shot. The contestant answered 'David Boon' only to be told that it was Allan Border.
We went to an ad break and came back to be told that the contestant had been awarded the point, having pointed out that the picture was of a right-handed batsman, whereas Allan Border was left handed. "They got the slide the wrong way around" we were told.
