40 Greatest chokers in sport

I imagine most people who were asked about that list would have seen the 81 Ashes as a great result for England rather than the convicts choking. It's all subjective.
Dirty Leeds still got promoted so they didn't choke too badly.

I'd have thought Jim Peters' marathon run when he entered the stadium 17 minutes in front of the other runners, yet did not finish, would have featured.

That's scarcely choking though. I don't think someone pulling out for being ill or injured should count as choking - it surely be for someone who has winning in his/her/their sights and, for no physical reason, blows it.

For the same reason, I think it's a bit harsh putting Devon Loch on the list

No Tim Henman against Goran Ivanisovich? Should definitely be in there above 2010 England football team, who were rubbish rather than chokers.

It was Henmans ONLY real chance of a Grand Slam Final and was playing a veteran semi injured wild card

This is the one for me.It still hurts to this day.
Thanks for the list beepbeep.Interesting but very anglo-centric.

I'd have England football team 2006 than the 2010 one. In 2006 our team was younger and better.

What about Newcastle in the mid-nineties under Kevin 'I would luv it' Keegan??

Jana Novotna was known as the Choking Czech.

Wasn't that for an entirely different reason?
