My brother bought me a biography a few years ago. Just an incredible story. The guy must have had the most amazing hand/eye co-ordination to be so good at everything.

Max "Power" Woosnam certainly a contender.
"Woosnam declined the opportunity to become a professional sportsman, finding the idea 'vulgar'." If the guy could see the overpaid primadonnas now .. he must be turning in his grave. |

Cheers levi, never heard of Woosnam before.
Don Bradman's batting stats were 30% better than anyone else who has ever played the game. 30% is massive. I can't think of any other sportsmen who was so much better than their peers. |

Wayne Gretzky had stats way above anyone else too. If you go on stats or are Canadian or Australian it`s one of those two.. |
