She doesnt come with a lot of the baggage the other shite hawks come with (ie – Best and his alcoholism and wife beating) and was actually a trail blazer that left a legacy we still see today.
George Best or Rory McIlroy.
Joey Dunlop
Joey Dunlop. Has to be.
Or Michael if the person has to be alive still. Jonathan Rea another noteworthy shout.
Can we just fast forward to the Best Video?
Roll on The King Thing
Rory McIlroy
Rory McIlroy.
Lurgan dicked over again
Not a fan of him or the sport, but I’d say our most perpetually under-recognised / appreciated Sportstar is Jonathan Rea. His achievements within his sport are virtually unmatched.
David Healy, solely for beating the English in our back yard.
Johnathan Rea, multiple time superbike champion
Jonathan Rea
Joey Dunlop. 🏍️
Best comedian: Jim Allister
Joey Dunlop
Dennis Taylor for the glasses alone (Snooker’s a real sport, right?), or Barry McGuigan just for being a thoroughly decent person at the right times.
Not into the bikes at all but it has to be Joey, phenomenal rider and by all accounts a brilliant fella too, didn’t he used to personally drive van loads of stuff to various charities all over Europe?
