'On This Day 1986: Alan Sugar Expands His Tech Empire'

The entrepreneur behind the Amstrad computer brand bought Sinclair Research from his arch-rival Sir Clive Sinclair for £5m.

Alan Sugar's rags to riches rise continued as he took over and ran Tottenham Hotspur FC from 1991-2000 and later sold Amstrad for £125m.

Now, Lord Sugar is best known for his role on the BBC show The Apprentice, which he has fronted since 2005.
