    JT McNamara will be remembered for his distinguished, stylish career in the saddle and his formidable strength of character after serious injury.

    The jockey had told friends he intended to retire in the summer of 2013 but a fateful fall that March prematurely ended his career.

    Weighing room colleagues were in shock and the Cheltenham Gold Cup the following day was run against a sombre backdrop.

    A plaque above where he sat at Cheltenham celebrates his 16 winners at the track, including four at the Festival.

    When Bruce Springsteen played in Limerick, he dedicated his song My Hometown to the stricken jockey. He was a much-loved and respected figure.

    On 15 December 1995, relatively unknown Belgian midfielder Jean-Marc Bosman helped change the face of football.

    He won a legal battle at the European Court of Justice which ruled that players should be free to move clubs when their contracts expired.

    And thus, the Bosman Ruling was born. And it's been nineteen years since it was introduced to English football. 

    So we want to know who your favourite free transfers have been at your clubs?
