Ironic that the last really sporting gesture I can remember ...

... in top level football, was when Di Canio caught that ball when the oppo goalkeeper was down, when I doubt too many people would have blamed him if he'd scored first, then gone over to see how the 'keeper was.

The irony, of course, being that Di Canio is a right old nazi bastard.
