This week’s round-up features a lot of Dominik Diamond. Plus a wild futsal own goal and Seb Coe training kids in 1980
1) Sportspeople and GamesMaster. There is a lot. Forgive us the clip timings. Dewi Morris and Rupert Moon play EA Rugby in 1995; John Barnes and Vinnie Jones meet on Fifa International Soccer, Vinnie Jones faces Andy Townsend and Les Ferdinand meets Vinnie Jones. Oh and then Kasey Keller and Townsend turn up in 1994 (Keller also featured with Andy Cole that year). An old favourite as John Fashanu hits the bar from a yard out on Manchester United Europe. Emlyn Hughes gets a beating on Emlyn Hughes International Soccer. There’s also Ian Wright, Tony Daley playing Striker on the Super Nintendo, then another triple-header, on Winning Eleven: Dean Holdsworth v Phil Babb, Holdsworth v David Kerslake and Babb v Graeme Le Saux. And obviously there is Richard Rufus v Michael Duberry on Sega Worldwide Soccer 97, plus Rufus v Chris Armstrong. All with added Jim Rosenthal. The subsequent year’s game then pits Sol Campbell against Christian Dailly.
Nigel Benn and Barry McGuigan see who hits harder on Sonic Blast Man (McGuigan was also on here), while Frank Bruno also had a swing, as did Gary Mason. Naseem Hamed plays Super Punch Out!! and Ryan Rhodes squares off with Khalid Shafiq on Street Fighter EX Plus α. Eric Bristow plays Heimdel on the Amiga; Jimmy White plays, er, Jimmy White’s Snooker (John Parrott tackled Archer Maclean’s Pool); Pat Cash and then-wife Emily face off on the Neo Geo’s Baseball Stars Professional; Rory Underwood gets to test his Air Force skills; Johnny Herbert gets his gear on for Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge (then faces Mark Blundell on Sega Rally), while David Coulthard goes karting; Linford Christie and Colin Jackson meet for a sprint challenge, Steve Backley flexes his wrists and Roger Black goes up against Du’aine Ladejo, before John Regis and Tony Jarrett meet on Athlete Kings.
