    Bobby Charlton, for one, as he epitomises the rise of Manchester United after the air disaster. Daley Thomson and Steve Redgrave for sheer stamina. Pele for just being brilliant.

    Only 2 ever that spring to mind immediately, Muhammed Ali and Lee Trevino, everyone else pales into insignificance, both were as much entertainers as sportsmen.

    Ah, golf. More of a game than a sport really.

    It's not my favourite either, but I do watch the Open each year, and the Masters if I can.

    What about fishing? More of an inactivity than an activity.

    I suppose I gamble on the majors more than any other sport now, I love the golf.
