On this week's ep of A Few Off the Wood, we take a little detour away from our normal MO of poking fun at each other and we have a look at sporting lives that were cut tragically short, in light of the recent deaths of Diego Maradona and Christophe Dominici. We will talk about a collection of athletes that were at the very top of their sports, whilst also illuminating their legacies that will forever be remembered. When an athlete dies there is a huge outpouring of emotion and sorrow. On this pod, we discuss why that is the case and we try to make sense of the joy, hope and love these athletes have brought to the wider community. Sport brings happiness to people and these legends were no exception, they filled our stadiums, they filled our living rooms and now they fill our thoughts.
