Sports Who, in your opinion, is the greatest athlete of all time?

[Scotland]

He couldn't play any tests because every other test cricketer was fighting in the war.

Yes but it's not like the VFL where the competition still ran even though players were absent. He didn't play 5 of tests against women and children to get his average up.

 

[perthblue]

I wouldn't fight in a war either. Killing people and dying isn't really my style. The former I reckon I can avoid if I put my mind to it, the latter I'll delay as much as I can.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

CR7 isn't his nickname. It's something a marketing w***er invented to flog overpriced deodorant and s**t merchandise.

 

[Gough]

Who is CR7 and why do I want to smell like them?

hardly matters how it started, it's quite commonplace among soccer fans to call him cr7

War squib confirmed.

I'm quietly confident that if we had a WWII level conflict again I'd sign up almost immediately. I'm happy to die on a hill defending ideals that are worthy. Keith Millsr proved that he was ready to die for our Western ideals, Bradman complained he had a muscular problem, that somehow didn't affect his cricket, and managed to sign up but avoid service.

 

[Scotland]

Hot places.

Cold places.

I hope he doesn't drop any hairpins around them.

Don't call me brah.

[perthblue]

Don't call me brah.

Alright then, campaigner

 

[perthblue]

ahh the old cristiano castrol edge ads, I remember them being on all the time around the buildup for the world cup

 

[IKnowtheDog]

Michael Van Gerwen. When he is at his best he is unstoppable

 

[William Wonka]

Keith Miller the greatest athlete of all time and the best bloke.

And not even Warney ****ed a princess.

You don't sound very definitive there, potential war squib?

Potential war squib, potential war hero, potential war criminal. The trinity jackpot !!

 

[El Dubya]

potential war criminal.

Most likely outcome.

 

[Cruyff14]

CR7 definitely up there. He is a machine.

 

[Brad Goodman]

Vulcan

Really, anyone who hasn't served in the armed forces is a waste of a penis.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Bradman never had to compete against the mighty NZ Black Caps either as they didn't start playing tests against Australia until the early 1970s.

Of his 52 tests, 37 of them were against England, 5 were against South Africa, 5 were against the West Indies and 5 were against India and those sides weren't as strong as they were in subsequent decades.

Bradman never had to face a West Indies bowling line up containing the likes of Roberts, Holding, Marshall, Garner, Ambrose and Walsh and he never had to face a Pakistan bowling line up of Wasim Akram, Wagar Younis and Shoaib Akhtar.

Bradman was really just a downhill skier who was fortunate to play in an era with very little strong opposition.

Not to mention being a campaigner of a bloke.

 

[iluvparis]

I hope the term 'war squib' isn't being used seriously

It should be - I find it hilarious

Probs not so nice to read from someone who fled yugoslavia though

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

People still call him that? Wasn't that stupid marketing campaign like 9 years ago?

It's no different to calling Lance Franklin "Buddy". It's a common nickname for him. Who gives a * tbh.
