From summer afternoons at Lord's to a chippy on the way home from the match, British sport is built on rituals as much as results. Rank these traditions by how much they'd leave a hole in your life if they vanished.
Put the items in your preferred order.
The Boat Race
A 170-year-old rowing showdown that somehow still draws hundreds of thousands to the riverbanks every spring. Equal parts sport and social occasion.
Wimbledon's strawberries and cream
A fortnight of queuing, Pimm's, and polite applause on Centre Court. The strawberries are practically a national institution at this point.
The FA Cup third round
The weekend non-league heroes get their shot at Premier League royalty, often on a frozen pitch in front of the cameras. Pure romance.
Boxing Day football
A full fixture list the day after Christmas, treated as sacred by fans and resented by managers. No other league does it quite like this.
The Grand National at Aintree
For one Saturday in April, the entire country picks a horse based on its name and watches Aintree like their tenner depends on it. Because it does.
