1946: Manchester United great George Best was born in Belfast.

Best spent 11 years at the Old Trafford club with perhaps his crowing moment coming in the European Cup final in 1968, where Best scored United's second goal in a 4-1 extra-time victory over Benfica at Wembley. He was also voted European Footballer of the Year later that year.

He died in 2005 after a long battle with alcohol addiction.

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff says this year's intense battle with Ferrari has revived his love for Formula 1.

Let's see how Russia responds to this ultimatum....

A statement from the International Paralympic Committee:

"The (IPC) has indicated that if the Russian Paralympic Committee (RPC) does not meet its obligations in full by early September then there is a strong chance it will not be allowed to enter its athletes into the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games.

"The comments come after the IPC Governing Board unanimously decided last Thursday (18 May) not to lift the RPC’s suspension following an update from the IPC taskforce, which was appointed to monitor the fulfilment of the reinstatement criteria."

IPC president Sir Philip Craven said: "A number of key criteria still need to be met. At the moment there are a lot of good plans with timelines on paper, but we now need to see plans in action and delivering concrete results.”

Note: The IPC suspended the RPC on 7 August due to its inability to fulfil its IPC membership responsibilities and obligations, in particular its obligation to comply with the IPC Anti-Doping Code and the World Anti-Doping Code (to which it is also a signatory).

Rob: There's one position that's certain to make the worst IX and that's GK, reserved for Mr Claudio Bravo. Only.
