BBC Superstars was an all-around sports competition that pitted elite athletes from different sports against one another in a series of athletic events resembling a decathlon. The format was originally developed in the USA before the BBC made it own version filmed at the National Sports Centre, Crystal Palace in August 1973 for later broadcast on New Year's Eve of the same year. The inurgral competition was captured by former 400 metre hurdles Olympic champion David Hemery. It was presented by David Vine with commentary by Ron Pickering. The show proved so popular that versions ran through and Europe and American until 1985. 1979 British Superstars Championship for the Ferguson Trophy was held at the Cwmbran Stadium in Wales. This was expected to be a grudge match between the 1978 winner, judo champion Brian Jacks and the rising star of British track and field Daley Thompson. The other competitors were made up of John Sherwood (athlete), Geoff Hurst (footballer), Danny Nightingale (pentathlete), Steve Assinder (basketball), J.J Williams (rugby union), Alan Minter (boxing) doing the best to spoil the party and take prize for themselves.
