Favorite Sports Person?

Right now probably Conor McGregor. I love his brashness, I love his work ethic and he's one of the most entertaining and destructive fighters in the world. Also a huge fan of Seve, Kevin Pietersen, Mike Tyson and David Beckham.
 
Fav sports person is gonna be people I get a real kick out of watching

Outside golf that would be Valentino Rossi, in golf it would be Tiger
 
Seve. Beefy. Valentino Rossi. Amr Shabana. Ramy Ashour. Federer. Viv Richards. Brian Moore.
 
Right now it's two. Johnny Gaudreau of the Calgary Flames. The kid's a relative midget amongst his peers and has triumphed over adversity all his short career so far. He's lighting up the NHL right now. The other is Dimi Payet. Up there with Bish, Di Canio, Julian and Frank Van der Elst in my list of West Ham Legends. (bobby moore was before my time)
 
Have a look at his 75 minute ESPN show 'The Decison' - then come back and tell us you still think he comes across as humble

I've Watched "The Decision" multiple times, That was a low point in his career for definite, have you watched any interviews on the year after when they lost the finals to the Mavericks? He apologised for the way he had gone about the whole free agency period. Most heroes have been villains at some point.
 
Currently - Andy Murray
Historically - Jackie Stewart - I can't tell you how proud I was as a kid that a Scot was F1 champion

But on the football front - Billy Bremner and Kenny Dalglish

Can spot a theme?
 
My brother - at his best a joy to watch and very underrated as a footballer but a cult hero at nearly all the clubs he played for. Unfortunate he didn't play for a more 'glamorous' club (sorry Rich!) but football 'brown envelopes' at its best........allegedly!!!

As for other sports, too numerous to mention but notable are Seve, Ernie, Botham, England Rugby squad 2003, Jimmy White, Wiggins, Hoy, Daley Thomson, Gazza, Zola, Lampard, Terry, Drogba, Federer, KP, Flintoff, Sam Burgess.
 
Nobody famous unless you're a Burnley, Reading, Portsmouth, Sheffield United (amongst other lower league clubs!!) fan. Or if you're Northern Irish and follow Glentoran!

I have, at times, hated your brother. Especially in the Burnley days. :D
