Federer's win at Wimbledon yesterday has sparked some debate about who was/is the greatest sportsman of all time. So let's have a bit of fun with this by selecting our own Top 10's.
FWIW here's mine;
1. Ali
2. Pele
3. Bradman
4. Merckx
5. Armstrong
6. Redgrave
7. Woods
8. Moore
9. Indurain
10. Lewis (Carl not Pip  )
OK, I guess Federer and Schumacker should be in there but it's my Top 10 and I really wanted to get Indurain in there as he was 'The Man' when I burst onto the scene in 1994 (now I'm bursting the seams  ).
Come on gang, what's your Top 10? _______________

Martin Edwards wrote Think there could be space for Edwards & John
Believe it or not, the former did go through my mind. Barry retired too young!
C'mon then! Have a go! _______________
