Sport is a mental and physical challenge. And here with these Spot the Difference puzzles, we have a fun challenge for you.

In each of these vintage sports photographs, you'll find six changes that we have made. Some may be small and subtle, so look closely.

We suggest right-clicking to see the image larger in another tab and, if you need some help, at the end of the blog, you'll find a link which reveals the results.
