34D - Sonic Youth winner of sporting its a knockout (9) S_P_R_T_ R
58D - Athletic brothers from Tyne Valley? (8) _H_R_ _ _ _

40A - Leader of Golf's first army (5) A_N_E

Haven't seen it myself, but woul 40A be ARNIE as in Palmer and 49A is NAT as in Lofthouse.

The clue is cryptic!! I had Con Signed (as in despatched by his own pen) not Con Martin...i thought it made sense! it fitted in anyway so it was good enough for me!
