benjamin1945 16,158 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Its 60 years ago today that Roger Bannister broke the 4 minute mile barrier,and to me is a true legend, I think the word "Legend" is bandied about to freely today,i hear people talked about as legends ,when they were mearly very good,Legends in sport were people like,Bannister,Owens,Ali,Marciano,Matthews,Moore,Pele,Best,Bradman,Sobers,Larwood,then there are local legends such as,Lawton,Pearce,Randal,Clough and Sirrell. who do you class as a legend in sport,? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

denshaw 2,871 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Eddie the Eagle Edwards. represented GB in 1988 Olympics with no funding, he had poor eyesight and had to wear six pairs of socks to make his borrowed boots fit. I give him maximum points for effort. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
