The Fred Dibnah question

[RadcliffeRick]

Can you imagine the BBC interviewing someone today with a fag on the go?

Not too many got away with using the **** word on tv in 1983!!

Only ever been one British Skier hasn’t there?

Conrad Bartelski.

If the average person was asked to know the name of any steeplejack they would probably say Fred Dibnah.

Another example:- Motorcycle racer Barry Sheene

So:-

The idea is name ONE person that most people would associate with their profession.

Remember, ONE name only.

It started well with the Fred Dibnah one and I will give you Barry Sheene as well. Unfortunately you have been let down by posters randomly naming famous sportsmen in sports with lots of famous participants.
