BACK in April 2003, my sports editor at Wales on Sunday decided to ask me to write a weekly column about sporting internet sites. After a pretty crap start, I got into the swing of things and began finding sites devoted to such esoteric sports as squirrel fishing, sex-doll rafting and competitive eating. The column was dumped in August 2004 but I managed to save some of them and here they are.
Please keep in mind that I have no idea if any of the sites I've linked to in the columns still exist and I can't take any responsibility if you click on a link for, say, a rally website and end up looking at midget grandma porn.
