The Football League's centenary, the MCC bicentenary, a cricket World Cup, a rugby World Cup, a historic triumph for European golf - all highlights of the 1987 sporting calendar. But it was also a year in which, among other issues, allegations of drug use cast a dark shadow over athletics. David Coleman chairs a panel of sporting personalities - including Tommy Docherty , manager of Altrincham
Football Club; athletics star Brendan Foster and, from rugby, David Watkins - who respond to questions about the sporting year put by an audience at Altrincham Leisure Centre, Greater Manchester. Producer PETER GRIFFITHS
