Turkish Posted Saturday at 19:17 Posted Saturday at 19:17 (edited) Obviously some of you might name a women so got to be woke here and say people but who are you top 3 mine in no order Joe Calzaghie - 46-0 record never beaten, world champion for 11 years an incredibly skilful boxer. Some will say he never beat any big names in their prime but he had some big names on his CV and his performance against Jeff Lacy was one of the best I’ve ever seen considering no one gave him a chance Matt Frazer - 5 times CrossFit world champion. Most guys don’t even podium twice this guy won in 5 years in a row. There is an argument that the winner of the CrossFit games is the fittest person on earth, hard to disagree with the reasoning of it Franceso Totti - probably wouldn’t be top of anyone else’s list but loyal to Roma a wonderful player. Used to love watching him back in the day, his documentary is a great watch. Edited Saturday at 19:18 by Turkish

There is a story about him struggling with rowing in one of the games workouts so he spent a year rowing every day on top Of his other training to be better. That mindset is incredible Edited Sunday at 21:10 by Turkish

There’s not many sports men and women that good that you can still say they underachieved slightly.

Him, Woods, and countless others, were the best at that they did despite having various issues. To have achieved what they have against that backdrop is remarkable. 2

iansums Posted Monday at 10:25 Posted Monday at 10:25 Shane Warne, incredible cricketer but also a top pundit, always very fair in his analysis. Muhamed Ali, growing up in the 70's he was perhaps the most famous man on the planet. Jessica Ennis, for that Saturday, as the poster girl for London 2012 she must have been under enormous pressure, will never forget her medal ceremony, goosebumps when the National anthem kicked in. 1

Went to a charity dinner a while back and Shane Warne was the guest. He did about an hour of stories and Q&A. He was brilliant, really funny. Chatted to him after and let him get a photo with me 2

Gus Fraser was our tour guide in Barbados for the Test in 2004 - top fella, always liked him as bowler. Not much smaller a mountain than Redgrave. Told us over dinner that Shane Warne used to pay for his own flights to play for Hampshire and that Bransgrove had said Shane was an unbelievable fella as well as cricketer. So lucky to have him play for and captain the county. Met and talked with Sir Colin Cowdrey for about an hour when our local pub re-opened. Asked him about what it was like to face Lillee and Thomson at the WACA having come out of retirement in winter of 1974 in his 40s. Aussies thought he was still a class player and was a world class, stylish batsman in the 1950s and 60s. Edited Monday at 12:03 by Gloucester Saint 1

I walked past Shane Warne as he was coming out of Staples in the West Quay bit opposite McDonalds.

One of the broadsheets printed a rumour after we moved to the Rose Bowl that the Hedge End restaurant would get a call coming up to the lunch break if Hampshire were at home with order for two buns, fries and no burgers. Shane’s lunch was allegedly a chip butty. 🥪 No idea if true or not. Same article said that during the difficult first season when we were relegated at Northlands Rd, there was a drinking club called Australia & USA = Warne, Udal, Smith and Aymes. When you’re THAT good, it doesn’t matter and what a brilliant player. Edited Monday at 14:35 by Gloucester Saint

On a slightly related theme, I once went on a stag do which started at Northlands Road and was gatecrashed by Aymes, Smith and a couple of others. Absolute carnage. 1

Turkish Posted 2 hours ago Author Posted 2 hours ago (edited) Football wise I always loved Jack Grealish, when he was at Villa I thought he was a wonderful player who could Have been anything he wanted to be. He also seemed to walk the line really well of being a party boy, really nice bloke and a great player. His move to city killed him, stuck out on the wing appeared to be told to try and win as many free kicks as he could. Guardiola is a wonderful coach who gets results but it’s a system based on structure which doesn’t suit players like Grealish who just need to be allowed to play. two others you can add to the list are Denis Bergkamp And Andre Iniesta. In a world where pace, power and strength are lauded and players who don’t have this are cast aside these two were Two of the best footballers in the last 30 years but neither of them known for being big strong and quick Edited 30 minutes ago by Turkish
