Scottish Sports Idols


Recommended Posts

Surely Stephen Hendry or the cycling geezer ( his name escapes me now ) are the greatest ever Scottish sportsman ..............My favorite would be little Benny Lynch but purely for success Hendry was 7 times world champion was he not :icon_eek:

With all this euphoria over Andy Murray who although being a tremendous tennis player I thing is a miserable tw*t it got me thinking just what other talent has Scotland produced that is recognised on the world stage? I'm not talking about some guy whos claim was to have scored a hatrick back in the 70s but a world renouned sports star.

 

For me the greatest talent ever to come out of your side of the border is Colin McRae and Sir Jackie Stewart true legends :yes:

Colin Macrae can't fly a feckin helicopter though eh?

Scotsmen and sportsmanship are not normally words you see in the same context.

Although there are one or two exceptions.

Chris Patterson SRFU

Chris Hoy.
