One of the beautiful things about sport is its ability to throw up the occasional surprise. Those rare moments when David beats Goliath and upsets all the odds and predictions. It does not happen often, but, when it does, it provides moments of inspiration and hope, and makes instant heroes and heroines.

Victory is a thousand times sweeter when you are the underdog.
