Muhammad Ali and a 65p can of cider at the world-renowned Selston Par 3 Golf Course

My mate Steve used to have a poster of Muhammad Ali in his bedroom; the iconic shot of Ali standing over Heavyweight Champion Sonny Liston having flattened him in the first minute of the first round of their 1965 fight.
