Sarah Storey has won 5 Gold, 8 Silver and 3 Bronze in Para swimming which span 92-04, She has then gone on to win another 6 Golds in Cycling from the 08 and 12 games giving her a total of 11 Gold, 8 Silver and 3 bronze over a career spanning from Barcelnona in 92 to london in 2012 (20 years).
David weir is another one Winning Gold in the para 800M, 1500M, 500M and marathon which is unheard of.
Sir Chris Hoy winning another Gold to make him Britians most successful Olympian of all time.
Mo farrah being the first British man to win the 10,000M and winning the 5,000M as well.
Jess Ennis winning the Heptathlon when the weight of the UK was on her shoulders as the poster girl of the London 2012 olympic games.
Ellie Simmons was again the poster girl of The Paralypic games 2012 she won 2 Gold, 1 Silver and 1 Bronze she also smashed 1 world record by 7 seconds
Jonnie Peacock at the age on 19 destroyed probably the best 100M para final of all time.
Hannah Cockroft lit up the Para games with he lovely smile and won 2 Golds in the process.
Bradley Wiggings being the first ever British winner of the tour de france and then backing it up with an emphatic Gold in the time trial at the olympics.
There is every chance I has missed a few as well.


In any other year they would all walk away with the Sport personality of the year.
That was why I mention Andy Murray as he is just another one that would win no doubt in any other year.
Only 1 can when they all would in another year which was MR's point.

Yeah, I know.

I remember once chatting to Norman jay at the old T&C, Dave Beer was hanging about, being a cock as usual, and Norman saying; "It ain't what you get or what you get, it's what you give".

Profound guy Norman.

Sorry about that, not only posted that on the wrong board, but on the wrong web site.

Wondered where that post had gone.

When you get up, put the radio on and Charles Wright and The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band come on, it's going to be a good day.

I think Prawn Face is going to have a stroke.

He's been going chicken oriental all day about the amount of his clients that keep ringing him up.

Every time he goes out I stick two or three post it notes on his screen saying; "Please call Mr. Lavender" or some such. Then I go out.

Just seen a clip of Phil Lowe scoring his try for Manly in t'Sydney big cup final in '76. Manly were proper good in the 70s - that's why roopy doesn't like 'em, I reckon. Anyway Lowe was wearing the 9 shirt, which was a bit weird. I wonder if it was like the Dutch football team at that time that assigned squad numbers alphabetically (unless you were Johann Cruyff)?

Did they?

Didn't know that, every day's a school day.

The stupid Leicester team used to have letters.

Stupid place Leicester.

Friends of mine got shushed at Leicester Tigers once. Shushed at rugby.

Argentina did it too in '78, so Ossie Ardiles was number 1.

Key-rist!

These are possibly some of the worst facts ever.

forward numbers were
8 lock
9 second row
10 second row
11 prop
12 hooker
13 prop

I still usually write teams out that way - it seems sensible.
