London - Former West Ham United chairman Eggert Magnusson is suing club owner Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson over the terms of his exit from Upton Park last year, it has emerged.

Documents filed at the Reykjavik Municipal Court earlier this week show that Magnusson is demanding a pay-off of 200 million Iceland krona (1.65 million dollars).

Gudmundsson is looking to sell the club after losing 250 million pounds (377 million dollars) when his Landsbanki bank in Iceland collapsed.

Magnusson became chairman of West Ham in November 2006, when he bought the club with Gudmundsson through WH Holding Ltd, but was relieved of his duties a year later when Gudmundsson added his five per cent stake to his controlling interest.

Los Angeles - Brandon Roy had a night to remember.

Roy poured in a career-high 52 points, including the tie-breaking three-pointer with 61 seconds remaining, as he carried the Portland Trail Blazers to a rousing 124-119 comeback victory over the visiting Phoenix Suns on Thursday night.

"That was the best game of my career," said Roy, who made 14-of-27 shots, including five three-pointers and 19-of-21 free throws. "A lot of my teammates stepped up tonight, it was a team win."

Roy came into the contest averaging 22.3 points this season, but his sparkling effort was the second highest total of the season, behind the 55 scored by San Antonio's Tony Parker.

Sydney, Dec 19 : Former Australian fast bowler Jason Gillespie has been told that he cannot complete a two-week coaching stint with budding pacers because he plays in the unsanctioned Indian Cricket League.

Gillespie was invited by the Australian team's bowling coach Troy Cooley to work with young pacemen at the Centre of Excellence, but the move has been blocked by Cricket Australia, which sides with the influential Indian board in banishing so-called "rebel" ICL players from domestic and international cricket.

"I just found out that because of my involvement in the ICL that doesn't allow me to go and do any coaching there, which I think is quite unusual," The Sydney Morning Herald quoted Gillespie, as saying.
