Love game: Five other sporting power couples for 'Wozzilroy' to ponder

Coming on top of the combined total €26million earned separately last year by the top women’s tennis player and the future (fingers crossed) top dog in golf, that would represent a serious chunk of change.

That’s what the marketing experts reckon anyway. But how have previous sporting couples faired out?
