Rooney, Gazza and their kind Alcoholism destroyed George Best, arguably the finest of all post War English players and also Paul Gascoigne. Wayne Rooney, equally talented and volatile, might probably keep his money and his sobriety, writes Brian Glanville. IFA SHIELD 
Churchill dashes Bagan's title hopesBanking on the strengths of its reserve bench, Churchill Brothers retained the IFA Shield in style as Mohun Bagan went down 2-1 in the final. Over to Amitabha Das Sharma.

Dream comes true for Alok KumarAfter spending 25 years at the cue table, the 43-year-old Alok Kumar is still hungry for success. He has been practising eight hard hours a day for ages and still relishes every win like a success-hungry newcomer. His win at the Asian billiards championship is a reward for all those years of hard work. Over to Y. B. Sarangi. Advt Links: • calling card
