  • Ricky Hatton v Kostya Tszyu: The night The Hitman shocked the world
    After the tragic passing of Ricky Hatton, this week's bonus episode of How It All Played Out takes you back to the defining fight of his career. On June 4 2005 a raucous crowd in Manchester watched Ricky Hatton fight Kostya Tszyu for the IBF Light welterweight title.Hatton - the popular, skilful, combative, Mancunian Everyman - walked into the MEN Arena to sounds of his beloved Manchester City’s “Blue Moon,” his hands thrust deep into sky blue boxing gloves.That night was the high point of Hatton’s career as he brilliantly dethroned the Australian-based Russian Tszu - who had held the title for over a decade. Hatton had arrived. What made him one of the most popular British boxers of all time? And why did he - and so many sportsmen and women - find life so hard once the cheering had stopped?

  • Coe vs Ovett: Moscow 1980 & The rivalry that divided a nation
    "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 CoeFrom 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!We'd love to hear from you!

  • Sven-Goran Eriksson: The story of England's first foreign manager
    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?
