Top of my head the main ones are the Murray brothers. Christiano Ronaldo was born the same year/month as me so always had a special interest. And of course, the legendary John Rankin. Limited range for me with the sports I follow. I too don’t share the anyone but England mindset, it’s put me off travelling to see Scotland with pals etc as anti England chants seem par for the course. Whilst I don’t look forward to the media guff, I am always keen to watch England matches. This year, I feel Luke Litter should have won sports personality of the year. The exposure and buzz he has given to darts is unreal, so are his abilities. Maybe I am biased as a darts fan? Sometimes these things can be a bit political, or maybe I am becoming more cynical in my old age!
Ronaldo is going to have to be in there. I’ve always preferred Messi as a player but there’s not really much argument about both going in. At the moment Murray just misses out for me as I will need to include the other three and probably also Serena Williams. I have considered putting Murray and the others in one article together but I don’t think that will do them justice. I could be convinced otherwise though.
One of my supplementary articles is likely to be on future stars and Littler would certainly be part of that. Not ready for the main list yet though.
