It's been a while since I learned how to count, but on a quick estimate that doesn't look like a hundred.
|
|
By:
I could name a hundred great snooker players alone , any german snooker players ?
|
|
By:
I thought we were talking sports.
|
|
By:
Yes that’s what I said , Britain is good at all sports , Germany is not
|
|
By:
Please, Britain has never even won the men's fisting World Championships.
|
|
By:
Sorry, apparently it's called Fistball in English. That kinda got lost in translation in my previous post.
|
|
By:
Of course we invented most sports as well, Germany ever invent anything like that ? I don’t know
|
|
By:
Ok a hundred great British sportspeople for ever one german might be a slight exaggeration ,
But not by much |
|
By:
There must be about a thousand great German winter athletes for every great British winter athlete.
...but I won't bother writing them all down even if you throw Eddie the Eagle at me. |
|
By:
really , I doubt there’s anyone as good as John curry or Torvill and Dean
|
|
By:
How many golf majors from Germany ?
|
|
By:
Britain has a hundred great golfers for every one german , for example
|
|
By:
Athletes ? Anyone as good as Coe and Ovett ?

Yeah Phil Taylor conquered his sport to a far greater degree than Murray did his.
It’s not even worth looking it up because the number of comps Taylor won trounces Murray’s. Taylor was like the klitschko of boxing, dominated for over a decade, Murray was briefly world number 1. As for the bbc sports personality of the year joke, the person who wins that generally is the one given air time on that channel, and since bbc only covered amateur darts, Taylor didn’t get much air time after going professional. The bbc are pretty shameless, they sold off the family silver and pretend the only sport that matters are the things they still show, they flirt with formula 1, got a bit of tennis now and then, snooker sometimes, cover cricket on the bloody radio and athletic egg and spoon rubbish. |
|
By:
Tennis is a much greater sport than darts ( if darts even is a sport )
That’s the difference , I’m sure there is a tiddly wink champion as well ( probably British ) |
|
By:
Whatever your personal perception of the game is it doesn’t alter the fact everyone is trying to win at it.
Taylor just bounced em off the walls for years on end nobody could get near him because he practised so much |
|
By:
Yes that’s true , but it’s darts so there’s no getting away from that
|
|
By:
there is something glorious about being the heavyweight champion of the world , in boxing
but not in darts , sorry |
|
By:
I remember what Taylor used to say to critics who said disparaging things about darts.
He’d say, well if it’s just a hobby then I shouldn’t be paying any tax. When the reality was that he paid loads of tax by beating all comers that went to fund the lifestyles of athletes that the bbc then fawn over. |
|
By:
Nick Faldo has won twice as many majors as Murray.
|
|
By:
Yes , although while winning a golf major is very difficult it is not quite as difficult as wining a tennis major
some quite average golfers have won a major |
|
By:
Faldo is up there certainly , but Murrys achievements might be slightly greater
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
I'm thinking Britain must have some athletes,soccer,rugby and cricket players that have achieved more in their sport than Murray? Surely? Racing car drivers? COME ON!!! I can't believe that a bloke that won 3 Tennis Opens is the greatest British sportsman of all time. An Australian sportsman with 3 Tennis Opens to his credit would be lucky to get in the Top 50.
|
|
By:
It’s not always about numbers , is Jim Clark the greatest of all formula 1 drivers ? possibly
|
|
By:
Australia are good at sport , but not as good as Britain
No country in the world is as good as Britain |
|
By:
I am not taking the bait lfc. All you need need to know is that it rained in Bradford tomorrow. That's all. And maybe will take a couple more years to complete. Have a nice day.

By:
The rain it raineth every day , Shakespeare said that
We have the greatest writers as well |

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING THESE LAST FOUR DECADES!!!
Australia's GREATEST EVER halfback never toured with the 1984 Grand Slam winning Wallabies because he was stuck at home watching on TV and SEETHING!! How do I know? Because I am that man. The best halfback in the history of Australian Rugby THWARTED at every turn by biased ignorant selectors who cared more for their own integrity than my Rugby career. I'll never forgive those agents of evil that FORCED me to play for Kings Old Boys 3rd XV at a time when anyone who knew anything about Rugby agreed I should have been there at Twickenham firing bullets at Michael Lynagh. It's all about perception. And who you know. |
|
By:
Quite right kamikaze , and you can be thankful to Britain that you were able to watch tv in the outback
We invented that as well as rugby and cricket |
|
By:
no one likes to be thankful : (

By:
There’s seems to be an assumption that achievements are greater the more they are inclined to be athletic.
Strength and fitness will get defeated by skill. Ability is a combination of all these things but I’d take skill all day long. I remember when young I thought I was pretty good at badminton. I was fit and beat most of the people I played. Then one day I just happen to play the kid who was playing for his county, he was small and didn’t look particularly strong, but he had me running around the court like an idiot and he barely moved off the spot and I don’t think I scored more than a few points. |

"Australia are good at sport , but not as good as Britain
No country in the world is as good as Britain" You need to put one of those smiley faces here so people don't think you're serious! |

He’d say, well if it’s just a hobby then I shouldn’t be paying any tax. Strange thing to say--I don't get the logic behind it. When deciding the greatest sportsman you have to take into account the Worldwide appeal Darts is predminantly a game played in British pubs so it's much easier to reach the top than in a sport like tennis. It's difficult to think of any other Brit who had greater dominance in a Worldwide sport than Adam Peaty. |
