Sporting Gesture Of The Year??

[Richard A Thackeray]

Too bad that this won't get a wider audience (too used to abusive/selfish f**tballers??)

"Chapeau!!"

 

[RichardB]

Great story. In the world of the sly look at the ref and the theatrical dive, this is what sport should be about. He gained far more than a third place by his actions.

 

[raleighnut]

chapeau indeed.

 

[Levo-Lon]

Perhaps Jose will donate his 40milion to struggling sporting causes..or charities..lol

Nice sportsmanship!
Think I might of bombed past him doing a wheelie!

 

[vernon]

I was expecting something related to this gesture

 

[winjim]

In a world of sticky bottles and EPO, I think it's a bit unfair to single out footballers...

For me, I was heartwarmed by the last few seconds of this video, where Andy Murray stops the Davis Cup celebrations to go over to the Belgians.

Sporting gesture of the year was last night when Wolves defenders didn't let us score just once, nor just twice, but trice

I wonder if he would do the same if he was racing for 1st and 2nd, instead of 3rd and 4th?

Perhaps Jose will donate his 40milion to struggling sporting causes..or charities..lol

Analysis - BBC sports editor Dan Roan
"Jose Mourinho had a meeting with the club at around 14:30 GMT, when he was told the end had come.

"He won't be paid the £40m compensation speculated. My understanding is he has been paid until the end of this season, what was left of the annual salary of £12m he receives.

As admirable as the cyclist above was, this would be my candidate:

This week I gave my pie to a colleague when I felt too unwell to eat it and it would have been past its prime if I kept it for later.

Do I win?

@vernon

I think the Mod's ought to figure out how to put a big red heart under your user name - at the very least.

 

[AndyRM]

Not that I think this trumps the cycling story, but footballers aren't all that bad...
