A talent beyond question

Two British sporting institutions drew neck and neck this week. A Question of Sport has taken 45 years, three hosts, 16 captains, a million high-fives and several makeovers to bring up 1,000 not out.

Ryan Giggs has clocked up 22 years, 25 major trophies, a handful of injunctions, one manager and a few reinventions of his own to keep pace.

Both milestones ended in disappointment.
