2025 was a tragic year for sports as legends across disciplines passed away. Football mourned Diogo Jota, Denis Law, John Robertson and Suleiman Al-Obeid, cricket lost icons like Robin Smith, Harold "Dickie" Bird and Bobby Simpson, while boxing said goodbye to George Foreman, Ricky Hatton, Joe Bugner. Golf, tennis, gymnastics, and more also saw champions depart, leaving fans in mourning.
