Nominate
Ivan Mauger

I had an Ivan Mauger doll when I was a kid. They sold them in "Exeter pram and toy shop".

That brought absolutely nothing to this thread. sorry.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Nominate
Ivan Mauger

Tempted to second out of tribal loyalty to speedway, but doubt he'd garner enough support, even amongst the kiwis. He's probably best known for being Aaron's great uncle nowadays.

Still, impressive stats: 6 world titles, 3 world longtrack championships, 4 world team titles (including 3 with GB, bizarrely ) & the inaugural world pairs title with Ronnie Moore in 1970.

Ah, sod it, I'll second him.

 

[Jamee999]

Nominate Stephen Hendry. My favourite snooker player.

Would nominate DJ Carey but he's not going to get the backing round these parts.

Nominate
EDIT: Tony McCoy
