OSM golf special
The youngest swingers in town
Golf is hipper than ever - especially now the game's worst fashion crimes are history. OSM meets Britain's brash and brilliant brat pack.

 
Martha in the middle
The row over the refusal of America's most famous golf club to accept women members comes to a head this month at the US Masters. At the heart of it is Martha Burk, who tells Lawrence Donegan why she won't give up the fight.

David Moyes
Moyes own story (part 1)
David Moyes has confirmed his reputation as the best young manager in the country. But how has he done it? In an OSM exclusive, Martin Baker witnesses everything from the training-ground tantrums to Wayne Rooney in a towel.
Moyes own story (part 2)

 
'I wouldn't sell Rooney for £20m'
A year ago David Moyes talked to me about a footballer who was, at that time, virtually unheard of away from the football gossip of Merseyside.

 
'I turned down Arsenal and went to Cambridge'
Moyes the player underachieved: he clearly needed Moyes the manager. Something went badly wrong for the promising Celtic centre-half in 1982.
