Top 10 Greatest Sportsmen and Sportswomen

A place to chat about anything thats not football related. Most of the threads in here are completely pointless which is why people keep coming back and back. As the forum title suggests, feel free to make any post you want on any subject you wish. It also has Adult jokes (so be warned) which is the other reason people keep coming back.

Not sure about top ten (although yours looks pretty good Aussie) but my top sportsman would be Jesse Owens, he was a black American runner who won gold at the Munich olympics in 1936, infront of Hitler!
