Greatest British Sportsman/woman

[Bobski]

Personal bias maybe but for me being the 10 or 20th, or even 50th best footballer of all time is far more impressive than being the best in a niche sport. The level of competition to get to even league one standard in football is insane. It always gets me when Steve Redgrave is placed so high on lists, his achievements are undeniably impressive but the depth of competition is miniscule in comparison.

He has a book on running does that count ?

Also Usain Bolt can only do it for about 10 seconds!

Nah, Bolt can do it for 20 seconds, he's also the record holder for the 200m.

I'd have Giggs in the mix for sheer longevity, though I may be in a minority there.
