I can recommend the Canon 70-300mm IS which should fit your requirements.

If I were you Id find myself a nice second hand Canon EF 135mm f2 lens. I shoot sport and lots of the guys now use these instead of an 80-200mm, not too big, nice and light, sharp as **** and you can crop into them all day long, the AF is also superb, I reckon you would get one for about £500, maybe even less as Ive seen them new online for £712. Ive played with a few and they are beautiful, Im gonna get one myself sometime.

Might sound cheap, but the Canon 55-250 IS gives excellent results for the money

Not what you were asking for, but all Canon users should do themselves a favour and get EF50 1.8

So cheap, and I probably use that lens more than anything.

The Sigma 70-200 2.8 EX is a nice lens. Coincidentally, I'm thinking of selling mine as I just don't use it enough...

Agree about the 50mm option, or you could go for the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 loved that lens on the D80.
