Former Glory
‘FOR those of you who can remember the original Superstars, tonights line-up in the remake of the old Seventies/Eighties classic might seem a bit lame.

After all, the word former appears quite a lot on the biographies of the contestants former world hurdles champion Colin Jackson, former Olympic rowers Greg and Johnny Searle, former England rugby captain Phil De Glanville, former England full-back Stuart Pearce
But we have to accept that the days when the countrys top sportsmen would willingly risk injury for the sake of a few quid on a TV gameshow are long gone.
Those of us who remember Kevin Keegan crashing off his bike at high speed and being hospitalised the day after playing a game can only laugh at the reaction of, say, Sir Alex Ferguson were Ryan Giggs to suffer a similar fate.
So, we wont get the modern day equivalents of James Hunt or Brian Jacks or John Conteh, but the line-up of 50-odd former stars over the next few weeks is still quite impressive.
Johnny Vaughan and Suzi Perry are the hosts.’
