YOUR TOP 5 SPORTSMEN OR WOMEN OF ALL TIME

Now there’s an unsung hero, Edwards, great player that he was had the luxury of playing alongside team mates of similar quality whereas Holmes carried a somewhat mediocre side in comparison. He was almost a ninth forward, excellent player whose career was cruelly curtailed through a persistent shoulder injury, gained no doubt through his exertions.

He’s a builder now. Lives in Pentyrch.

Margaret Court? Wow. Never expected to see her in a favourites list.😂

Hey, lay off Mags ! She seemed a nice lady at the time, unlike the brash Americans like Billie-Jean King. They didn't have to look like sex goddesses to appeal to a young lad you know !

Pele - Simply the best
Cassius Clay (before he became Ali) -Lightning quick for a Heavyweight. Even predicted when he would knockout his opponent.
Gareth Edwards - Best rugby player I ever saw - unstoppable 10 metres or so from the try line.
Federer - Most consistent tennis player over a long period
Jack Nicklaus - Ahead of his time almost unbeatable during his career in the majors.

I agree to an extent, but I'd rate the 71 Lions win in New Zealand as the single most impressive northern hemisphere rugby achievement of the last sixty years and there's no doubt that it would never have happened without a world class nucleus of Welshmen in the test side - JPR Williams, Gerald Davies, Barry John, Gareth Edwards, Mervyn Davies and John Taylor were all realistic candidates for a world XV at that time.

Mmm, Bob I'm not sure Sir Clive would agree with your first sentence !
