Maradona :| no way , wasn't the greatest sports person he could ahve been if he didnt get involed with drugs.

[AfroJoe]

Was probably the most technically gifted footballer ever, yeah, but as a person... well, basically, the guy sucks.

As a footballer, though, I still think that he was better than Pele. Yup.

Yep Phil Taylor is a legend in darts. Became even better than his mentor Eric Bristowe.

[DaGaz101]

Maradona :| no way , wasn't the greatest sports person he could ahve been if he didnt get involed with drugs.
Yeah sure he did some stup things but I don't thinkthat takes away from his "sporting" graetness. :| :unsure:

[smileemptysoul]

Mike alstot in his prime also.

[AfroJoe]

Now there's a fullback.

Greatest sportsman, though? :D

[smileemptysoul]

ever seen the high school clips?

[AfroJoe]

Nope, got any I can have a look at?

Thinking about it, I'm sure there's loads of players who played better in college, seeing as there's so many failures in the NFL who must have been good at some point to get picked. :D

Wasn't aware that Alstott was like that. I'm not calling him a failure, no, but being the best fullback in the NFL these days isn't really much of an achievement. There aren't many of them around.

[DaGaz101]

I reckon Pele, Rocky Marciano or what about Tiger Woods? ;)

[smileemptysoul]

i have one clip at school were he receves a dump pas as the qb gets hammered. he runs straight up the gut over atleast 7 peaple for mabey 5 yards

Mr Burns can win a pennant(whatever that is/means) and has placed a million dollar bet to back The Power Plant Team to win. He cheats and hires top class professional players and Ken Griffey Jnr is one. There is an amazing song at the endo of the episode that I will never forget with all the players in it(Homer as well:p)
The players I remeber are
Steve Sax
Jose Cansaeco
Ozzie Smith
Darrly Strawberry
Don Mattingly
And another 4 or 5 players.

It is the best and funniest episode there is of the Simpsons.

For skateboarding it's got to be Danny Way. Not sure if any of you lot are aware of him so I will give a small description.

Basically he is one of the skaters that is taking skateboarding to new extremes. He has jumped out of helicopters, flied 90 feet from ramp to ramp, Ollie over the Great China Wall, aired out of a 30 foot halfpipe and more. He is a true athlete who has been involved in some truely amazing adverts (for those of you that go to the cinema regularly in England you would have seen one of his adverts). Pure legend.
