Greatest Sporting Legend?

[Benny Seagull]

who is the greatest sporting legend (according to sky one's winners of each sport category)?

 

[Bakesy]

Lance Armstrong has to be right up there

 

[dougdeep]

Ali.

 

[Gully]

Ali, he said that he was the greatest, who am I to argue?

 

[Jello]

Gareth Edwards, not quite a legend is he. How the feck did he qualify?

 

[thedeadone]

Ali Without a doubt!!.
The word LEGEND is used on alot of sporting greats but he is top of that list by a mile!

the mugs who watch this shit would have voted him in.

How can the name "REINELT" be missing from that list?

these six are taken from the winners of sky one's first six categories. the last is cricket and would have put one in for that category, only i know nothing about the sport - only that we're gonna lose this ashes thing.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

you've missed the cricket player out.

 

[Giant Seagull]

Mark McCammon

Jocky Wilson & Eddie Charlton

A close call between Ali and Redgrave, but I'd personally go for Redgrave. His career spanned at least 20 years at the very top of his sport, in a sport where physical endurance is absolutely paramount. 5 golds in 5 different olympics, the 5th being 16 years after the first, is truly stuff of legends.

My drug dealer's called Ali

 

[Stevie Boy]

Redgrave for me, to keep that fitness up for some long is something else.

 

[Beach Hut]

Jessie Owens - magnificent athlete and defiance against the Nazis

 

[RonnieO'Sullivan]

Ali its not even a contest.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

senna's only there cos he's DEAD

just joking


i think redgrave for me

 

[perth seagull]

Michael Jordan.

But I voted for Aryton Senna because he's dead, and dead people make better legends.

 

[El Presidente]

dead people make better legends.

Try telling that to JOHNNY CRUMPLIN
