      by

      The Monaco circuit is arguably the most famous and historic track on the entire F1 calendar.
      And expectation for the weekend is high with even the likes of seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton coming a cropper on the tight Monegasque streets.
      But ahead of qualifying most F1 fans were not talking about the cars on track after Brundle’s latest antics.
      The analyst is well known for his pre-race grid walks where he talks to celebrities and members of the public.

      But he got going a day earlier in Monaco as he spoke to a 89-year-old photographer – who turned out to be a big admirer of his.
      Brundle appeared equally keen on the woman as the two chatted away in the pitlane on live TV.
      After catching her attention, Brundle appeared fascinated by her and asked about her photography.
      She said in response: “I admire you and everything you’re doing.”

      As Brundle shook her hand at the end of the interview, she pulled him close and said: “I need your card.”
      F1 host Simon Lazenby was left doubled over in laughter.
      Fans were also left beside themselves at the off-script interaction.
      One said: “Did Martin Brundle just pull live on tele??”
      While another said: “Martin Brundle getting propositioned in pit lane by an octogenarian photographer on live tv might be the funniest piece of television I’ve seen in a long, long time.”
      Another said: “Get yer coat Martin….you’ve pulled!!”
      And one amused viewer tweeted: “Omg that 89 year old woman asking for Martin Brundle’s number. I am howling!”
      Brundle’s exploits aside, fans have plenty to be excited about this weekend.
      Following last week’s race cancellation in Italy, expectation is building that the dominant Red Bull team could be given some fierce competition in the fight for pole. More

      Gow said she would not be here without her husband, Jamie
      Having posted an update a couple of weeks after her frightening ordeal, she has now appeared in a short film to recount the experience.
      The film, which aired on BBC’s The One Show, saw Gow reveal how her “extremely rare” stroke was caused by a cough she developed.
      In the short film, she began by recounting her career as an F1 reporter before saying: “But then my life changed dramatically.
      “At 45, I suffered a serious stroke. And I’ve spent the last few months learning to walk, and more significantly, to talk again.

      “Just after Christmas I got sick, it wasn’t Covid, but I had a terrible cough and then my husband Jamie found me collapsed in the bathroom.”
      Jamie then revealed the panic which set over him at the time.
      He said: “I was trying to call your name and get you to speak to me and I was just getting nothing back from you. It was the worst moment of my life.”
      Upon hearing his response, Gow could not hold back her emotions and broke down into tears.

      Their daughter, Isabel, was described as a “superstar” by Jamie, with the six-year-old rushing to grab some pillows and put them under her mothers head before passing the phone to Jamie.
      After being rushed to Frimley Park hospital and receiving “very prompt” treatment, Gow later posted a message on social media.
      She wrote: “Hi everyone, been quiet the last few weeks, this is because I suffered a serious stroke two weeks ago.
      “My husband is helping me type this, as I’m finding it hard to write and my speech is most affected.
      “I’m desperate to make a full recovery and return to work but it might take some time.
      “Thank you to the medical teams at Frimley and St George’s and my family and friends who’ve got me through the last fortnight X.”

      Dr Thomas Pain, one of Gow’s consultants, appeared in the video to explain how her stroke was caused.
      He said: “The majority of strokes are caused by a blockage in a blood vessel which supplies the brain.
      “Your stroke was caused by a clot from the carotid artery, in the neck, a tear in the blood vessel due to coughing and a viral infection you had at the time.
      “That clot flew up the vessel, causing the stroke on the left side of the brain.”
      After being transferred to a specialist unit at St Georges’ in London, Gow had her clot successfully removed before any significant damage was caused.

      Gow vowed to continue down her road of recovery, despite admitting she still feels numb down her right side and is suffering with no sense of taste.
      She declared: “I’m determined to come back as strong as ever and I want to share my experiences to try and shine a light on stroke survivors – and if this can help just one person that will be enough.” More

      Watch moment Celtic star Joe Hart gets completely shut down live on American TV as he takes sly dig at US soccer

      by

      JOE HART got more than he bargained for when he took a sly dig at US soccer in a live TV interview alongside Cameron Carter-Vickers. The pair of Hoops pals were seated alongside each other as they joined the Morning Footy show for CBS Golazo with host Alexis Guerreros.
      Cameron Carter-Vickers and Joe Hart were appearing live on CBS
      Joe Hart couldn’t find the breakthrough against the USA
      Guerreros asked USA international Carter-Vickers about the kind of questions he gets from fans in the UK about American soccer, saying: “CCV I have a question.
      “What is the No1 question YOU get from these Europeans about playing in America, what is the No1 question about America and Joe Hart do you have any questions about America?”
      Carter Vickers responded: “Obviously we have Alistair Johnston here now so I can direct all of the questions about the MLS to him, he knows a bit more than me.
      “The team is a good group and there is a bit of banter flying about Ted Lasso but in the main it is all good.”

      At that point, Hart chipped in, saying: “When do you dominate?
      “Because obviously the US has such a strong history in sports – athletes, the size of the country, the way the colleges are set up to establish great athletes.
      “It is time, right? Enough money has gone into it, enough energy has gone into it.
      “I see players like Cameron, if he’s not starting, then the standard must be high.”
      Most read in Football
      Quick as a flash, Guerreros answered, referencing the 0-0 draw with England during the World Cup, saying: “I think we did a pretty good job against England in the World Cup.”
      Cue hilarity amongst the other panel members, with Hart briefly rendered speechless before replying: “Oh Alexis, that was a good chess move.”

      I won the World Cup with France and starred in England, now I’m an actor who has appeared alongside Oscar winners

      by

      FORMER Chelsea star Frank Leboeuf has shown his range since retiring from football, by becoming an actor in an Oscar-nominated film.Leboeuf, 55, starred for Chelsea in the Premier League between 1996 and 2001, making 201 appearances for the Blues and scoring 24 goals.

      While in England, the defender won two FA Cups, the League Cup and the Uefa Super Cup.
      Leboeuf starred on the international stage too, winning the World Cup with France in 1998 and then the European Championships in 2000.
      But since retiring from football in 2007, Leboeuf has had quite a dramatic career change.
      Rather than gracing fans screens on a football pitch, he now enjoys time on the big screen and TV as an actor.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      Asked by the BBC about his new career, Leboeuf said: “I came back to my first passion which was movies and plays. When I was four years old I wanted to be an actor.
      “When I gave up my career I went to LA to learn the process of acting. We have a chance to have maybe two different lives and I wanted to try that and it works pretty well.”
      Indeed, Leboeuf’s passion for the performing arts eventually saw him land a role as a Swiss doctor in the 2014 film The Theory of Everything.
      On landing the role, he added: “I called my agent and said it (the audition) didn’t work very well and then about a week after she said ‘come on you French beep, you got it’!

      “And I said ‘oh my god it’s fantastic’.”
      The Stephen Hawking biopic saw the film nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars, while lead actor Eddie Redmayne, who plays Professor Hawking, won Best Actor.
      The movies nomination saw Leboeuf earn the unique title of the first person to win the World Cup and star in an Oscar-nominated movie.
      “For me it’s just the beginning for another career,” he continued.
      “I don’t want to stop there and say ok well I did that and was nominated but I only played three minutes.
      “What I want is maybe someday to have a role like Eddie Redmayne has and be able to show what I’m capable of but we’ll see.”
      Since his cameo in the film, Leboeuf has expanded his acting CV, starring in the French stage play Ma belle mere et moi neuf mois apres, as well as a host of French TV shows and movies.
      His most recent role came in 2020 when he starred in an episode of French detective TV show Commissaire Magellan.

      However, Leboeuf remains determined to achieve his dream of landing his Oscar.
      Asked whether he would consider swapping a Best Actor Oscar for his World Cup winners medal, he said: “Why do you want me to swap when I can have both?” More

      “I taught him how to wee this boy… he still can’t reach the toilet now!”
      Lineker couldn’t help but see the funny side and replied: “He’s certainly taking the wee now!'”
      Wright-Phillips lit up the Premier League with Manchester City, Chelsea and QPR before leaving for the MLS in 2015 and retiring four years later.
      Brother Bradley also played in the Prem for City but spent the bulk of his career in the MLS before retiring last March.

      The 41-year-old told Four Four Two: “I’d imagine that if you asked him now, he’d say yes. It would’ve been a nice story to tell.
      “But I think he was just happy with what we achieved. We made our own paths.
