R.I.P Daily (and Sunday) Sport
 
Yep, the newspaper that was launched in 1986 and actually makes The Sun and The Star look upmarket, the Daily Sport has finally folded along with it's sister paper, the Sunday Sport.

According to the BBC, these papers reached their peak ciculation in 2005, but since then have been badly hit by both the availability of Lads mags, and the availability of free porn on the Internet.

I used to read it at work, some one would always have a copy and the letters page was outrageous, complete fiction obviously but outrageous never the less.

I remember the time when they said "Elvis was alive and well". My father in law actually thought it was true.:D
