Chris Hoy
But if we are on rugger buggers John Jeffries and Finley Calder

While we're on rugby, one of the Lions greats. I only wish I'd seen him play.

The shortest retirement ever, fortunately for us and unfortunately for Kenya!!!

Willie John! Now there's a legend!
Darcy, your first pic - He's a lovely chap and nowhere near as boring as his commentary! 😉
Good shout surfer. I see your Zapotek and raise you:

I know flashy. A couple of mates did the sportive he helps to organise in Ireland last September. He's great. Stops to have a chat with anyone who wants a word. Signs autographs. Poses for photos. Keeps smiling all day until everyone's gone home. Top man.
Bez now plays rugby?
Keep up DD!!!
First man under 13 mins for 5k.

Lord Coe. 1:41 for 800m and the only athlete to retain the Olympic 1500m title.

Coe is just a big cock. 😛

Sorry, Flashy, but I've got to call THREAD FAIL on your part. A 'legend' should surely be someone who's a household name; a person whose sporting prowess has brought them to mainstream attention. A name even those with no idea about the particular sport have heard. A face that is instantly recognisable.
Never heard of those rugby players. I doubt anyone without any interest in Egg-Chasing has, either.
These, however, need no explanation.

Ya get me?
Henrik larsson, a sporting legend..? You sure about that .....
This is more like it

Coe is just a big cock.
Maybe, but a true giant in sporting terms.
Effinchafing, if talking out of one's dirty hairy arse was a sport, you'd actually have a chance of becoming a legend yourself.
This is more like it
Who is it then?
Yeah. Decent runner, but just can't get round him being such a knob.
isn't this a cycling forum?

Loddrik; who TF is that? And what sport is it, even? Certainly not something that's internationally popular.

PMSL @ Darcy!
On another note, Coe's a nice chap, actually. Very, very ambitious and driven, but that's a key part of being successful in sport, I suppose.
Certainly not something that's internationally popular.
Apart from your dreadful and uncalled for faux bad spelling, netball is a ladies sport that is widely played throughout the Commonwealth and elsewhere. Basketball is merely an American sport. 😉
However, Jordan is something of a legend, I will agree! Even for a netball player.

Coe is an arse. But you are right about the being driven. FEw sports folk get to teh top without being bellends in one way or another.

Jim Clark. If only for Monza 1967.

Colin MacRae. Just loved his all or nothing attitude in a car.
[img]

Ever met him, TJ? No, you haven't. So, don't presume to say he's an arse! He's not, in my personal opinion. Having met him a few times. 😉 Then again, you'd hate him on political terms regardless of the fact that you might rather like him! 😉
Joe Montana, let's be honest, more people in the world follow the NFL than follow rugby.
Effinchafing, if talking out of one's dirty hairy arse was a sport, you'd actually have a chance of becoming a legend yourself.
DearDeirdre; my arse isn't hairy. How about that then, eh? So shut up.
No, seriously; surely a legend has to be someone whose image and name transcends just their own sport.

Yes, I am serious. You know I'm right, too.
Fred, with Mac, you have a very good point! He was/is a legend.
