I’m sorry. This was a time when I really should have waited until I’d calmed down before commenting.Bit harsh Eccles! The whole greatest sportsman is silly and for some reason Balding has generally been a bit excitable at these Olympics but Murray has been a great Olympian and it was the Olympics that really ignited his career so I think that's why they've talked it up so much. British men's tennis was mostly in the doldrums for decades and decades before he came along, it's only sport but within that context he's been a warrior.
I will however concede that he's no John Boy ;-)
I concede that he did reignite tennis in Britain but I just have this blind spot which of course I shouldn’t have. There’s something about him that I can’t stand.
He was the best tennis player since Fred Perry and I should just have acknowledged that and not let personal animosity creep in. :-( :-)
I will stick to just being an OTT supporter of Mr Stones. ;-)
