My favourite cartoon from the Olympics was the two old lads in the pub saying " wasn't it great watching Mo Farah beating off all them Africans "
That's more or less verbatim what the TV commentator said. Spluttered a good mouthful of vodka over the carpet ffs! Anyway, the answer to the question is JOCKY WILSON. |

ffs Mo Farah moved to the UK when he was 8 years old. Some people on here making out he moved here as a fully fledged athlete in a flag of convenience scenario.
What were those critics doing when they were 8 years old and what have they achieved since on the world stage to make this country proud? Answers on the back of a postage stamp but doubt you have enough to fill the space.  |

to be a great sportsman you need skill. Running isn't a skill. Therefore Farah is out.

tbf I have missed quite a few buses as a result of a lack of this ability. are you suggesting that those with the skills of, such as, carpentry, pottery and glass-blowing should be brought into the discussion as potentially Britain's greatest sportsman? |

By:
Sport is so varied ,requiring different skills, that it's impossible to compare one against the other

Can't decide between these four :
Jim Clark Seb Coe Lennox Lewis Lester Piggott ------- Since Clark and Piggott were doing sitting down sports, I guess it's between Coe and Lewis. On the other hand, you could say that Clark and Piggott were the best in their sports EVER. |
