Your favourite Inside Sport clips
Inside Sport
What have been your favourite moments from the first year of Inside Sport?

Since our first interview with John Terry, Inside Sport has brought you features, interviews and debates on the most important sporting news.

Some points were light-hearted, others hard-hitting, some broke news stories, and others gave you an angle on sport you may never have seen before.

We've brought you captains, managers, women's sumo, Matthew Pinsent being ill, and Alan Shearer's Mastermind.

But which were the standout bits for you? What would you like to see more of? How will you remember 2007 in sport and Inside Sport?

You can nominate any moment from the first or second series of the show using the form on the right-hand side of this page.

And a selection of your highlights will be shown in the final programme of the series on 3 December.

Here's a reminder of some of our favourite pieces, and those that got memorable responses from you:

THE PARALYMPIAN HOPEFUL

Reporter and four-time Olympic champion rower Matthew Pinsent met Sgt Mick Brennan, who lost his legs while serving in Iraq but was in training to make the British paralympian rowing squad for Beijing 2008.

Matthew was hugely impressed with Mick's vigour and determination, and we received many comments of how inspirational Mick had been, with some people asking how they could support paralympian hopefuls.

THE HOUSEWIFE'S CHOICE

Mark Ramprakash visited our first series Sunday catch-up show to talk about his revival at Surrey and his time on Strictly Come Dancing.

We don't know if he gave Gabby any ideas, but we were inundated by e-mails from women viewers asking to have the clip of the dashing batsman available again online.

SVEN SPECIAL

Sven-Goran Eriksson
A one-off special for Inside Sport as Gabby interviewed ex-England manager Sven-Goran Erikkson while the team he left behind were seemingly in disarray in trying to qualify for Euro 2008.

The Swede backed England to still make it to the championships but, even more tellingly, was extremely coy about any approach from Manchester City for his services.

The interview drew praise from our audience and fans of Gabby still write in to tell us that it was her finest work so far.

THE THREE-WHEELIN' HITMAN

When Inside Sport began, one of the first names we wanted on the show was that of ever-popular boxer Ricky 'The Hitman' Hatton.

Ricky took Gabby around the neighbourhood in Manchester where he has always lived, proudly displaying his row of seats from Maine Road (Manchester City's old ground), his replica Reliant Robin from Only Fools and Horses and his ambition that nobody from his hometown would ever think he was "Charley Big Bananas".

Or did you prefer Steve Bunce's Hatton - Mayweather preview in our second series?

PINSENT ON CHAMBERS

Dwain Chambers
When Dwain Chambers was found guilty of doping, it rocked British athletics. When he returned to running after his ban, it rocked the British squad.

Matthew caught up with Dwain, who had left athletics behind to build a new career in the European league of American Football, training as a wide receiver for Hamburg.

"I though I'd get away with it," said Dwain, on his earlier steroid use, and who claimed that athletes had to take drugs to win.

The piece drew many responses, including that of Sir Steve Redgrave, Matthew's old rowing partner, and some of you asking if we could have more coverage of NFL Europa.

THE FOREIGN ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE

English football under threat - Inside Sport (featuring Trevor Brooking)
Perhaps the most-debated issue raised so far on Inside Sport was Sir Trevor Brooking's theory that the number of foreign players in domestic football was harming England's national development.

And not just in your e-mails, on our blogs or 606. England midfielder Steven Gerrard and Premier League managers Steve Coppell and Arsene Wenger have voiced their opinions.

FREDDIE'S NIGHTMARE

Andrew Flintoff
We caught up with Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff, removed from the England cricket team vice-captain role following a personal and sporting disaster at the World Cup, to talk about his hopes for the future.

Freddie still divides opinions among fans, judging from your correspondence, though nobody doubts his cricketing potential, and you all wished him well in his hope to be fit enough to captain his country again.

He also managed to knock out our cameraman while practising in the nets.

BRITAIN'S GOLDEN GIRL

Ohuruogu clinched a thrilling gold in Osaka
Fresh from her double gold at the World Championships Christine Ohuruogu visited Inside Sport to talk about her prospects for the Olympic Games 2008.

She was blunt, ambitious and human. If the British Olympic Association would not let her represent Britain in Beijing (for missing three drugs tests), she said, then she might run for Nigeria instead.

While such statements would not naturally draw sympathy from a British audience, many of you wrote in to support her goals as an athlete.

BIG MAN AT THE BIG FIGHT

The BBC gets many requests, every week, for more coverage of specialist sport, perhaps none more so than mixed martial arts.

It was difficult to keep it secret that we had already commissioned Steve Bunce to look inside the popular, burgeoning and violent world of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Your responses thanking us for bringing attention to the sport were a pleasure to wade through.

WORLD BEATERS OF THE MANX MOUNTAINS

When James Toseland became the World Superbike champion hundreds of you demanded more coverage of him.

Matthew, a bike enthusiast himself, toured the roads of the Isle of Man with James to talk about his win and his hopes when he competes in MotoGP next season.
