Paul is back for another action-packed episode. This week he will discuss some of the great clutch plays in sport, ie, sportspeople who have excelled under pressure at a particular moment to win a title or lead their team to an important victory. In this episode, some of what I will discuss include.
- An Australian rugby great who at the 1991 Rugby World Cup, authorised an important play that clinched victory when all seemed lost.
- The well-known play that took place in one of the greatest boxing bouts in history and was performed by the “greatest”.
- Tiger Woods memorable chip shot at the 2005 Masters.
- State of Origin moments eg, Ben Ikin, Darren Lockyear
- Mal Menninga’s ankle tap at 1989 Grand Final.
- Bubba Watson
- Michael Bevan, MS Dhoni
- Willie Mays
- Sam Jones
- Michael Jordan
- Sergio Ramos
- David Beckham
- Divock Origi
I will play some audio of some of these great clutch moments. I also have the Quiz and of course, we also have our segments What am I? and Where are they Now
