As British sport's greatest partnership takes a final bow after 50 years, the Olympic champions and their achievements remain mesmerising As they put the finishing touches to a farewell tour that will bring to an end the longest partnership in British sporting history, there is only one question to ask Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean: now they are hanging up their skates having spent almost every waking moment in the last 50 years together on the ice, what on earth are they going to do...

This is the issue Amorim faces as he attempts his monumental rebuild. He knows his problem: he has to find someone to score. And quick. But how is another matter.

Ian Holloway is sitting in the sports hall at the Swindon Town training ground, talking about spectral matters. Soon after he arrived at the club last autumn, he claimed that the place was haunted, jokingly suggesting that the ghostly presence might be the cause of the team’s slump. The ensuing headlines led to a flurry of cancelled bookings of the facility and he had been politely asked by the management of the municipally owned centre not to talk about it.
Tottenham look like a team without a plan against authoritative Fulham

In added time, Antonee Robinson set off for a gallop down the Craven Cottage wing, easily vaulting a couple of half-hearted Spurs challenges as he went, the crowd cooing in delight.
