Paul and Glenn are back for another action-packed and informative episode. This week we are going to discuss some sportspeople from over the years who are known for their great love of fashion and how fashion in sport has changed greatly. Some of what will be discussed include:
- A former Russian tennis star who was not only remembered for her on-court success and loud grunting, but also for her stunning, good looks, modelling and launching her own collection of fashion accessories.
- A former American tennis player who stunned Wimbledon in 1985 when she took to the court wearing a white cat-suit.
- Former French tennis star Suzanne Lenglen and the influence in changing women’s fashion in tennis.
- Famous hats eg, Greg Norman, Ritchie Richardson
- The Williams sisters
- Roger Federer, Lewis Hamilton, Christiano Ronaldo, David Beckham
- Dennis Lillee and the necklace and unbuttoned shirt.
- Aryton Senna
- Victor Cruz
- Russel Westbrook, Dwayne Wade
- Skylar Diggins
- Muhammad Ali
- Johan Cruyff
- Shai-Carri Richardson, Allyson Felix.
We have our Claps and Slaps for the week and our Quiz and Who Am I? There is also our segment Where Are they Now? and Glenn has another cracking joke.
