Favourite Sportsman ever?

[Brian Fantana]

Who is everyone's ALL TIME favourite sportsman?

Don't really know why but mine is Colin Montgomerie. Might not have had the greatest success as an individual in terms of majors but the way he inspired Europe in many a Ryder Cup will live with me for a long time.

What about you lot?

Mine is Peter Ward, who gave me the best days of following sport, by a country mile, the season we came out of the old third and second divisions.

How I miss the buzz that went around the stadium when he got the ball, spine chilling.

Great call. It's between him and the PUB.

Grace, W.G. -- With the modern game's emphasis on fitness and athleticism, the sight of a portly, bearded figure waddling out to bat at Lord's has not been seen since, erm, Mike Gatting's last appearance of 1997. By leaving the first-class game at the tender age of 41, however, Gatting will fall far short in endurance, as well as hirsuteness, if not girth, of the game's greatest legend, William Gilbert Grace (1848-1915). Grace played first-class cricket for Gloucestershire for 43 years, amassing nearly 55,000 runs. He played 22 Tests - although Test cricket did not begin until 1877 and there were far fewer matches than today - the last of them at the age of 51. Oh, and through all this he maintained his practice as a country doctor in Gloucestershire. He is commemorated at the game's headquarters by the Grace Gates, through which the players and officials enter the ground.

Faustino Asprilla - not only did he score a bunch of great goals, but his off field antics made me laugh a lot

I would have loved to have seen Klinsmann as Tottenhams manager

Saw him score 4 goals at Selhurst once, the game that kept us up - we won 6-2.
