Britain's Best Ever Sportsperson? 13:28 - Aug 30 with 13582 views

After that day release from the care home outburst from Brendan Foster who proclaimed Mo Farrah knocks everyone else(including Bobby Charlton apparently) into a cocked hat - it's time for your views and choices.
Well it ain't Mo,doesn't hold world records like Coe and Ovett did.And it sure as hell ain't Beckham.
I'm going for Steve Redgrave.

Poll:

So how was the season for you?

Lets hear it for Beryl Burton. Who?

Set a world record for 12-hour track cycling - over 277 miles - which was further than the men's record of the day. She is still the women's record holder 48 years later.
