Right then. Let’s see who YOU have voted as your favourite/the greatest sporting heroes of all time. There are 34 voters, who chose a total of 320 different people, some obscure, some well-known, some that don’t exist.
The first half or so of the top 100 does contain a few people who are there on the basis of one lone high score, so there are some surprise names, the top 50 is more orthodox, but still very interesting. Also there are a lot of equal points from 100-50 so I’ve just randomly shuffled them and that’s the final placings, the top 50ish are all on individual scores anyway.
I mean obviously I doubt I’ll recognise any of them but unlike the bitterly ironic Sports Personality of the Year, I am expecting the winner to have a personality.
