The Gardeners' World Blog

So we kind of got the feeling that many of you found columns by footballers a bit dull.

When I use the word column, in many cases they were "ghosted" columns - that is to say one of our journalists conducts an interview and then writes up what was said into an article.

We always made it clear this was the case, with the "ghost" journalist receiving a credit at the foot of the piece. And all of the footballer's words were original, just perhaps arranged in a slightly different way so they made more sense.

That didn't always meet with your approval, so it was why we launched our first blog written by a real-life footballer!

Hello everyone and welcome to a new series of Inside Sport.

We're back after what must be one of the best summers of sport ever. Gabby has been to meet triple Olympic cycling gold medallist Chris Hoy to see how he's coping with his new found fame - he's even big in Japan as we found on the streets of Edinburgh (do tune in to find out what I mean).

Gabby will also be sorting through double-gold swimming medallist swimmer Becky Adlington's shoe cupboard. Gabby has her eyes on those glittering Jimmy Choos, though I'm not sure she and Becky are the same size.
