The greatest sportsman EVER

[pominoz]

Jonah Lomu
Muhammad Ali
Johan Cruyff
Christy Ring
Michael Jordan
James Hird
Ian Thorpe
Usain Bolt
Nadia Comaneci
Herb Brooks (as a coach, he changed the way we thought)

Special mention: Francois Pienaar (there have been better players in the game but he led the SA team to win the WC and help unite a very divided nation)
Katie Taylor. Her list of honours is endless, and is pretty much one of the main reasons womens boxing is in the Olympics.
And Pele, obviously Pele.

That's all I can think of. There are so many out there, and the problem is obviously comparing then and now.
How good is Pele comapred to Messi, how good is Thorpe compared to Phelps,

James Hird, you a Bomber fan ? Great Footballer, i'll give you that. I would put Michael Tuck above him and i am a Carlton fan.

Didn't even think of the great man himself.(to be fair I was half asleep).
7 time winner and still a record holder.
