Martin Offiah MBE (born 29 December 1966 in London, England) is an English former rugby league and rugby union footballer.

He is known as "Chariots" Offiah after the film Chariots of Fire. When playing in Australia, he was also known as "Great Balls" Offiah after the Jerry Lee Lewis song.

Since retiring Offiah has also provided commentary for Sky Sports rugby league coverage and worked as a player agent.

A Londoner, Offiah attended Woolverstone Hall School near Ipswich, Suffolk, where he represented the school at fencing and played rugby and cricket. He played for Essex 2nd XI but soon realised his main talent was for rugby. At club level, he first played rugby union for Rosslyn Park and after starring on the Sevens circuit and for the Barbarians, there was talk of an England future.

Offiah was spotted by Widnes coach Doug Laughton playing in the Middlesex Sevens and was "brought North" to play rugby league for the 1987–88 season. Alex Murphy had been interested in acquiring Offiah from rugby union, but the board of directors at St. Helens infamously referred to Offiah as an "uncoordinated clown" and the interest was not followed up with action. It was at Widnes where he forged his reputation as a devastating winger, scoring 181 tries in 145 games. By his second season at Widnes, Offiah's performance was rewarded with selection for the Great Britain national team and the prestigious Man of Steel award.

Denise Lewis OBE (born 27 August 1972, in West Bromwich, England) is a retired British athlete who specialised in the heptathlon. She won the gold medal in the heptathlon at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Since retiring from athletics she has undertaken various television and media work, and is now a regular athletics pundit for BBC television.

The first day of the 2000 Summer Olympics heptathlon was 23 September. In the first event, Lewis recorded 13.23 seconds for the 100 metres hurdles to be in second place behind the world champion, Eunice Barber, who had finished in 12.97 seconds. Ghada Shouaa, the 1996 Olympic champion, pulled-out after only 20 metres of her heat.

After a poor performance in the high jump of only 1.75 m, some way off her personal best, Lewis was in eighth place, 152 points behind Barber who had increased her lead. In the third event, the shot put, Lewis recorded a distance of 15.55 m, placing her second. 30 points behind Natallia Sazanovich and 45 points ahead of former world champion Sabine Braun. Barber's distance of 11.27 m put her in eighth place.

Ellery Cuthwyn Hanley MBE (born 27 March 1961 in Leeds) is a British former rugby league footballer of the 1970s, 80s and 90s, and former head coach of Great Britain, St. Helens and Doncaster. As a player he played most of his games at Stand-off/Five-eighth, or Loose forward/Lock. Over a period of nineteen years, he played for Bradford Northern, Wigan, Balmain, Western Suburbs and Leeds. He was capped 34 times by Great Britain and honoured by the Queen in January 1990 for his services to the game. In 2007, he was voted as the greatest British rugby league player of all time.

In 1978, Ellery Hanley signed for Bradford Northern from the junior club Corpus Christi. On 26 November 1978, he made his professional debut for Bradford against the Rochdale Hornets in a League Division One match. He helped his club to a 30-18 victory, by scoring a try on his debut. He had to wait his time before gaining a regular first team place but in the early eighties he exploded onto the scene as one of the top try scoring non-wing players in the history of the game.
