Patrick Roy. Was great. And he knew it. What a goaltender. Was incredible to watch.

Peter Forsberg. It helps that he plays for the Flyers. :( but when fit this guy is amazing to watch. One of the best players in the league. Just a pity the shite that he's got on his team right now is bringing him down.

Brett Lee. Not exactly for his wonderful ability, as I think he can be erratic, but for his never say die attitude but balanced with great sportsmanship. I've got a lot of time for him.

I would have said him too. Also great how he always plays with a smile on his face. Looks like a monster when he bowls, but a great sportsman.

Jim Smith swears he only sold him for £999,999 as he didn't want to be the first manager to sell a million quid footballer. Courtesy of 'The Bald Eagle', available at all good book shops now.

Speaking of which, Sergei Bubka was meant to be able to run the 100m in about 11.5 seconds. Carrying the pole.

 

"Are you a Pole Vaulter?"

 

"No I'm German and how did you know my name was Valter?"
