Graham Gooch wasn't so bad either. I think I've got a thing for stubble 

yuck - Ian botham arnold -tooo much muscle

I like cricket  - Dicky bird not really

not bad - his eyes are a bit mean looking

seriously, you need laser eye treatment 

I liked his antics,,,,great sportman Ros 

Maybe that's what I like 

Dedication to the cause!

No Razor Ruddock yet and his magnificent bellyness 

I needn't have worried...I was there five hours after close of play 

no thank god...don't remind Cosi 

yes fantastic - my uncle loved cricket and thought he was fab - great umpire and character

See, Nuts doesn't do it for me 

what do you mean nuts?

KP? 

A close young relative of mine has looked after the Botham's horses for several years now. He's still q a good looking bloke imo. But if we're talking cricketers of that era Mike Brearley would have won hands down for me. A colleague of mine had a thing with him.....I was sooooo envious!

All I can see is a v v bad shirt and tie.

EDIT, Oh and, second, v big ears! Then third: chiselled face

Lizzie Armitstead from Otley riding through dreadful weather to claim Silver and the first medal for Team GB at London 2012!

Brearley was far from an outstanding batsman – failed to achieve a test hundred in his 39 tests and averaged just 22 – but as a leader and tactician he was unrivalled.

I used to hang around outside the players entrance to the pavilion at Lords after Middlesex matches (during the school holidays) to get autographs – he was one that obliged.

On the subject of autographs I travelled down to Bristol during the summer of 1989 to watch Australia play Gloucestershire – the Aussies at this point were already 2 nil up in the Ashes and making fools of an England side, that the media had suggested prior to the series, Australia would not be able to bowl out twice in a test match.

Unsurprisingly the Australians (fielding) were well on top even on the Saturday morning. As the players departed for lunch Merv Hughes was absolutely mobbed by kids wanting his autograph. He was a fearsome sight on a cricket field and appeared to be refusing to sign autographs until there was some order – something reassembling a queue formed and he stood and signed for what must have amounted to 20 minutes of the lunch period!

Australia won the game by the Sunday afternoon and departed for Old Trafford where they would inflict another devastating defeat upon England.

Marvelous Marvin Hagler – reigned for 7 years as Undisputed World Middleweight Champion.

Finnegan, Minter and Sibson were unlucky to come up against this beast in his prime!

He does look like someone Clint Eastwood would shoot in those old spaghetti westerns.

To be fair, Kevin Finnegan gave him a good fight (the first one) right up until he got a nasty cut.  He'd caught up according to the judges score cards (and the ref's too) and it was only due to Micky Duff throwing in the towel that it was stopped. Freddie Hill was furious.  

Duff never did give a good enough reason for his actions that night....

I love Marvelous Marv  

Even I know that'd be pushing it too far  

Finnegan and Sibson would have held versions of the World Title had they boxed in the "5 belt" non-unified 90's/00's era.

My bestest tennis player.

This guy gave Marvin Hagler a run for his money. Four or five days after that fight he was having Sunday lunch at my house - knocking back the beer and smoking like a chimney. I have a photograph somewhere - if he'd have taken boxing half seriously he'd have been phenomenal.

I don't recall the Hagler fight but i do recall him challenging for another world title (possibly later).

What's the story with him being at your house for Sunday dinner?

I only remember him from what would have been the tail-end of his career and I think he possibly played up to his “Nasty” image – particularly in doubles.  Surely the biggest character in the game prior to the emergence of McEnroe – and a gifted player – his 5 set Wimbledon final defeat to Stan Smith in the early 70’s is considered a classic match.

Guillermo Vilas from Argentina – 4 Grand Slam singles titles but never made it to the final of Wimbledon.

Like Borg, it’s hard to recall him without a headband!

Talking of the Olympics ^^^ - who can forget the dancing horses - wonderful stuff.

I wonder if such a radical design would be approved by the FIA today.
