Some of the most iconic victories have come after the longest waits.
England's historic Ashes victory in 2005 came after an 18-year drought. They famously secured the urn with a 2–1 series victory by drawing the final Test at The Oval.
2025 saw Crystal Palace end a 119-year wait for a major trophy, Newcastle United end a 56-year wait by winning the Carabao Cup, and, over in golf, Rory McIlroy ended one of the most agonising waits in modern sport by winning the Masters to complete the Grand Slam.
Mark Pougatch and Paul Hayward bring you the story behind the 2005 Ashes triumph, Rory’s historic win and Amrullah, the horse who famously never won a single race despite competing 74 times over a 10-year career.
A little extra bonus to tie you over after Season 2, enjoy!
