Sport stands for passion, suffering and reward for sacrifice, and the tales it has to relate are fascinating, engaging. In a certain sense sport is a metaphor for life, and perhaps for this reason often has a starring role on the big screen. Football, boxing, motor sports, swimming, tennis, snooker, surfing … there’s no sport that hasn’t been celebrated by Hollywood.
