Sidi Fidi Gold

One of the best things Beckham did was marrying Posh Spice and letting her PR team get hold of him,

Her husband was Al Joyner who was the brother of Jackie Joyner-Kersee, she still holds the record for the heptathlon with over 7200 points and until recently held the long jump world record.

You can put an asterix against Wade's Aus Open victory as not all the top players took part, in fact the Aus Open didn't really take off until the mid 1980s. Murray hardly ever played doubles at slams, neither do the other top male players nowadays. As I said before, Murray won 14 Masters titles, the next one down from slams , it looks like Wade won about 6 of the equivalent WTA tournaments(though its difficult to judge. At his peak(2008-2016) it took a good player to beat Murray at Slams, he very rarely lost to a nobody, Wade had quite a few loses to random players. Murray won the World Tour finals, Wade won non Its unfair to judge on Olympic medals as tennis wasn't in the Olympics when Wade played, Murray also won the Davis cup. This isn't meant to belittle Wades achievements,

Its unfair to compare todays tennis players with players pre 1969, when Perry played, he was dominant at grand slams but a lot of the top players were professional so were ineligible from playing Wimbledon, Roland Garos, US Open, Aus open, indeed, Perry turned pro in the late 1930s and although he had some success, he wasn't as dominant as when he was amateur, and I would back Murrays record against Virginia Wades any day.

I've just googled him and to be fair, I wouldn't recognise any Basketball player

Actually, if it wasn't for James Ward coming from 2 sets down to beat big serving John Isner, then GB would have lost in the Q/F to the USA. Then again, you can also add to Murrays achievements, World tour finals champion, world number 1, year end number 1 and 14 times Masters champion.

Who's the greatest British person ? I'm not sure but Andy Murray should be seriously involved in any discussion.

I've just looked it up, she lost to eventual gold medalist Kelly Harrington in the Q/Finals.

Wasn't she beaten by an Irish woman at the last Olympics, in the second round I think.

haha read my post further from yesterday.

It was a phenomenal ride from Tom, coming back like that after a puncture, it did just seem like a coming together but its the Olympics and if the host nation put in an appeal, you just never know.

I was gonna post too but I held off in case of a DQ after that coming together.

In 1984 David Wilkie came to our school to da a sponsored run(so many laps round the pling fields) everybody had a good time, we all had our photo taken with him and his car didn't even get vandalised.

The last hour was pretty good though.

Apart from Seoul 1988, I've watched every opening ceremony since 1984, this is by far the worst and a million miles off what London did in 2012.

A new Doctor Who spin off has just been announced " The War Between the Land and the Sea" its been rumoured for a while, it features UNIT and it looks like the Sea Devils, filming starts shortly.

Dancing prat, that's what I used to be called in my night club days.

Its not Quosimodo is it ?

Can Can, I was expecting Buster Bloodvessel to turn up.

Maurice Chevalier ?

Some of those waves on the Seine look a bit big, I hope there's no athletes crying of with sea sickness in the morning.

Lady Gaga on now, why do France have to import foreign artists, I want to see Vanessa Paradis belting out Joe Le Taxi.

I'm not impressed by the athletes sailing down the rover on boats, I always liked it when they walked into the stadium.

There was an event at the 1896 Olympics called " Men's sailors 100 metre freestyle " there were 11 entrants, all Greek but when you read the small print it says " only sailors in the Greek navy were allowed to enter "

Yeah, I can't remember exactly what the comms said but they seemed to think that the match was over.
