Ringo played football wirh Elvis.


George was into racing. That's all I know about. I guess Ringo and George knew how to skull from HELP. The real story is they ran off during that scene because one of the pods was a bomb. Only they never returned because they needed to find a place to smoke some dope.

^good sport ... they were world recordmen at it.

Well, Paul played rugby and Ringo liked snooker. George loved car races (even he made some in his car in mid-60s,... do you remember the Anthology? ). And John,.. well -he didn't practice as much as he would have wished- it was sex.

Have you ever seen Pipes Of Peace video? It could help you!  

It's been said many times (usually when Paul Is Dead Hoax's clues are debated) that in Sgt. Pepper's cover "Over the letter L in Beatles, one can see McCartney's rugby trophy."

Maybe it was football,... do you remember the line "He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football" in Come Together?

I've read something about the individual lines of that song here: http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/opd/home.html

There's also and interesting link about the meanings of each line and each one of the guys. Some people think that there are references for everyone of them in that one, and some reviews are quite interesting... or funny.  I'm searching it.

Anyway, he's still alive (isn't he) and we could ask him?

Ringo, Paul and George can be seen with a ball (football one -soccer for our friends from US) in Blue Jay Way video while John is 'playing' cello (2:18- 2:22 aprox.).

Bagseys Paul in my team. George and Ringo look a little ineffective (could probably make the Liverpool team though)

Jogging (or running... seem to have done quite a lot of that in AHDN   )



And cycling...



And maybe... bungee jumping...?
