    Sorry for borrowing the theme -

    1. Daley Thompson - I bet the bejasus out of my spectrum trying to win the decathlon;
    2. Eamonn coughlan - that smirk to the Russian - pure class ( however he is a knob head off the track)
    3. Jack o'shea - for country and county!

    Don't really have any now, if i had to choose i'd say pacman or nadal.

    Growing up it would've been Hulk Hogan, M Schumacher, Carl Lewis, Tyson and Charlie Redmond

    God there were so many sports stars that I loved watching growing up. A few would be...

    Carl Lewis - A sprinter 20 years ahead of his time.
    John McEnroe - His wars with Borg and Connors were epic.
    Walter Payton - Loved this guy at running back.
    Segi Bubka -STILL holds the world record, standing since 1994
    Flo-Jo (regardless of the rumour and innuendo that followed her-she was great to watch)
    Jimmy White - Anyone remember him and the Hurricane singing live on BBC after winning the world doubles. Both of em were blotto singing "if we knew you were coming we'd have baked a cake"
    David Campese - Simply an amazing Rugby player.
