England coach Eddie Jones has long been a huge cricket fan, which is perhaps unsurprising since he spent his formative years in Sydney, one of the summer sport's great strongholds. But it turns out that Jones's has another, far less well-known sporting passion -- West Ham. The east London football club, who play in the Premier League, caught Jones's eye when, growing up in the 1970s, he watched episodes of the BBC's 'Match of the Day' soccer highlights programme, which was also shown in Australia.
