Eleanor Oldroyd examines the impact 9/11 had on New York's sporting culture, with guests John McEnroe, George Vescey of the New York Times and Malcolm Folley of the Mail on Sunday.
Sport was one of the tools that the people of New York used to proudly demonstrate their defiance and rebuild their sense of civic identity, after the September 11 attacks.
Eleanor Oldroyd takes a look at the impact the attacks had on the city's sporting culture, including an interview with one of the city's most famous sons, tennis star John McEnroe.
Guests include 5 live's tennis correspondent Jonathan Overend, sports columnist George Vecsey of the New York Times, and Malcolm Folly of the Mail on Sunday, who was covering the US Open just before the atrocities ten years ago.
