sharkyvilla Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Some of those sports I couldn't really give a floater about, and some like baseball I like but most of the names I know turned out to be on ze drugs, so I'm left with: Footy: Messi Tennis: Federer Snooker: O'Sullivan Golf: Woods Rugby League: Burrow Cricket: Lara/Warne/Pietersen Rather obvious for the most part. Actually I'm shocked at how narrow my sporting interests are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted June 19, 2016 Moderator Share Posted June 19, 2016 Association Football - Maradona Rugby Union - Lomu (I'm not in any respect an expert in Rugby Union) Rugby League - don't care Cricket - tricky - Warne, Lara, Richards, Bob Willis, Cook - I think I'd plump for Botham because I was 10 or 11 and he was larger than life. Boxing (Pound for Pound) - I'd love to say Tyson or Roy Jones Jr - but I'm going for Mayweather - to hit and not be hit is the aim of the game, he wasn't exciting but he was damned good. Cycling -Indurain was probably the best in my time, but I'm going for Pantani because I love a climber. Baseball - don't know enough to choose Ice Hockey - that canadian fella with the mullet (don't care) Basketball - Jordan? He's famous. Darts - the caravan groper from Stoke, whatsisname. Snooker- O'Sullivan American Football - Barry Sanders Canadian Football - what is Canadian football? I've never heard of it Australian Rules Football - don't know enough about it to choose and don't really care Hurling - don't care Formula 1 - Senna NASCAR - don't know any except the ones that used to drive F1 - don't care Men's Tennis - Federer Women's Tennis - Graf Men's Golf - Woods Women's Golf - don't know any - and I attend the Women's Open every year. Greatest Race Horse - Red Rum Seriously, what is Canadian football? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Cut out the ones I don't really know enough about or don't care about: Association Football - Maradona Rugby Union Cricket - Bradman Basketball - Jordan Darts - Taylor Men's Tennis - Federer Women's Tennis - Graf Men's Golf - Woods Greatest Race Horse - Frankel (turf flat), Arkle (national hunt), Secretariat (dirt flat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I like lists so I'll play. It will be dominated by players I've seen so don't expect too many people who were active more than 30 years ago. Association Football Leo Messi. Rugby Union Martin Johnson Cricket Shane Warne Boxing (Pound for Pound) Muhammad Ali. It's hard not to pick Roy Jones jr, but Ali's list of victims is the most impressive I've seen. He beat a who's who of heavyweight greats. Darts Phil Taylor Snooker Toss up between Hendry and Ronnie. O'Sullivan was more talented but he lacks mental strength. Formula 1 Senna Men's Tennis Federer Women's Tennis Graf Greatest Race Horse Best Mate. The fact his jockey paraded the Gold Cup at Villa Park after every win probably influences me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
