The Sportsman (2006 newspaper)

The Sportsman was a national daily sports newspaper published in the United Kingdom from March 2006 to October 2006. It aimed to offer comprehensive coverage of a wide range of sports, with a particular focus on racing, football, and cricket. The newspaper was notable for its relatively short lifespan, ceasing publication after approximately seven months despite significant investment and marketing efforts. The reasons cited for its closure included difficulties in establishing a sufficient readership base in a competitive market dominated by established sports newspapers.
