Your Non-football sporting hero?

A couple of sporting heroes for being more than just great sportsmen:

Peter Norman
Roberto Clemente
 
There is only one and that is the 'Doctor' Valentino Rossi, Motogp god and still mixing with the youngsters at the ripe old age of 39. He really is a Legend of his sport. (I would love to be the ripe old age of 39 again) :sad:

Two tremendous shouts. I think John Randall limits it to two - I have a feeling AP only joined the ranks when Peter O'Sullevan passed away.

A pal of mine, when working in the Ladbrokes bet acceptance centre, once got called 'a ****' by The Voice Of Racing for not laying him a bet. Sir Peter usually got on whenever he wanted and invariably at a price better than the market but on this occasion we'd been completely filled in so he had to be refused.

As for Lester Piggot - as great on a horse as he was at dodging the taxman....
