Andy Murray sports personality, he ain't got any, can't stand watching him, even worse when he's being interviewed. Rather watch Clarkson on Top Gear and he ain't got any either.

Whats the beast in the 3rd photo?
I did a lot of fishing in France in the early 90's and was a propper bivvy rat, I would spend a month at a time on a lake, the carp would change hands for decent money but no where near their worth, I had a few contacts over there at the time and quite a few brits where setting up commercial waters, a 20 would be around £40 a 30 £70 and a 40 £150 apparently a 50 was £250
Tharts a Grass carp mate, fecking notorious for being a bloody nightmare on the bank and I wouldn't normally take a pic of them but this one was so big and it behaved it was worth a photo.

I'd have to put Redgrave at the top of that list personally, (but where's Stirling Moss? probably the best all round motor racer ever )
)
When I was fishing, years ago now, I was fixated with catching Tench, never happened though.
I caught some huge Tench but only when I started carp fishing and never even bothered weighing them I also caught some big Bream but they was classed as problem fish
My best time though was when I was a kid sitting up in a tree catching Trout on a private stretch of river hoping that we would not get caught.....

Loved Jimmy white, your right, runner up countless times but could never finish the job. A real shame.
No particular order but a fair challenge. Sir Stirling, arguably the best driver never to win a F1 title.I'd have to put Redgrave at the top of that list personally, (but where's Stirling Moss? probably the best all round motor racer ever
Best match I ever watched was between Jimmy White and Canadian Kirk Stevens in the final of the British masters at the old Wembley Conference Centre. Maximums, brilliant potting unbeleivable snooker and all while they were high on cocaine allegedly!

True that
but he won most everything else and had he not been the ultimate gentleman and talked the Stewards out of penalising Hawthorne in 58 he would have won the F1 title too. Proper Legend IMO 
Trivia did you know he invented pace notes too (for the Mille Miglia)Quote ...... Stirling Moss has been called the "greatest all-round racing driver" for his successes in sportscars, touring cars, and rallying as well as Formula One. He finished second in the championship in four successive seasons (1955 to 1958) and has therefore been given the title of "the greatest driver never to win a world title".

Loving the trivia. The same could be said about Giggs, never went to the Euros or World Cup sadly, however, to have won what he did and over such a long period of time under the greatest (and most ferocious) manager since the dawn of time says a lot. Best player to ever grace the English league (standing by). As an aside, he did score "that goal" against the best back 5 since the dawn of time (more standing by). As for racing drivers, if my kids lives were on the line and I had to choose an F1 driver from any era to start at the back of the Monaco grid in an Allegro to win it would be "Our Nige" all day long. Not the skill or craft of Moss, Stewart, Prost, Schumacher etc but still my pick. Daley Thomson " I don't care how good you are, I'm just better".True that
