I think we're the reigning champions in Extreme Ironing.

There was a world championship in 2002, which we won, I don't think there has been another one since...

Depends what you mean by 'good'? Top 10 in the world? If so you should add, at a guess:-

Athletics
Rugby League
Rugby Union
Football
Squash
Golf
Motor Racing
Boxing
Rowing
Sailing
Hockey

Need I go on?

When was the last time a senior English team was number one in the world at their sport?

The 2003 Rugby Union world cup winners?

Are we any good at Hockey?

Even our individual sportsmen seem to fall short. The only track and field athlete who ever does anything for Britain is the triple jumper Phillips Idowu.

And whilst we produce decent golfers, even the Irish seem to manage better.

WHY AREN'T WE THE BEST AT ANYTHING?

We are good at sports where you sit down, and are not weighed down by the weight of your Bank Balance.

If Moaning and expectations were a sport we would be unbeatable!
 






Match fishing. The Drennan Team England match fishing team have won more gold medals in the last 15 years than any other team. Individually Bob Nudd has won gold four times and Alan Scotthorne five times. Last won gold in Spain 2010, Italy are probably Englands closest rivals and won this year on home teritory.
