True.
That makes him not as good as Charlotte Dujardin, Ed Clancy or Pete Reed (who?), half as good as Laura Trott, Ben Ainsley, Mo Farah and Matt Pinsent, 40% as good as Steve Redgrave and Brad Wiggins and only a third as good as Chris Hoy or Jason Kenny.

Bbc probably regret ever calling this sports ‘personality’ as it’s always been about achievement rather than requiring some sort of personal charm or charisma.

How can Andy Murray be a suggestion? He is not even a personality in his own sport. A guy who grew up being coached by his mum. Good tennis player yes but I cant see any personality in him. Not a grain of that intangible, hard to describe magic dust that Botham or Ballesteros and others had that carries people along in a wave of emotion time and again when they play.

Funnily enough, when I read that I first thought of Alex Higgins, but I now suspect you had George Best in mind.

Probably the most famous photo of players communal bath was when
Allison, ever the showman, will be remembered by football nationwide for his trademark cigar and fedora, and the zest for life which once saw him photographed in the players’ bath at Crystal Palace with actress Fiona Richmond, one of many women who infiltrated his hectic life.

The Rocket was always very modest.
And he is 80 so understandable why he may say Federer & Nadal might (MIGHT) beat him.
I’ve never heard of a communal bath in an AFL stadium.
But I bow to your greater knowledge of bath houses and naked men.

Sven, I hate to disappoint but communal baths went out in the stone age, although I do hear there are some who still use it in AFL?

The same Laver who once told me that Federer and Nadal would massacre him and he’d be embarrassed to even play against them.

90% of men who play football do so because of the opportunity to get into a bath with other men without suspicion.
Rod Laver (the greatest of all time) is alive and well and regularly appears in his EPONYMOUS stadium

'Murray succeeded in an intensely individual sport which is so much more difficult to achieve.'
Not really. Every kid in the world wants to play football and be Pele, Maradonna, Di Stephano, Puskas, Beckenbauer, Real Ronaldo, Figo, Charlton or Mooro.
Only gays and fat lads want to play tennis and be like Andre Agassi and Roger Federer. Plus, to get a stadium named after you, you have to die of AIDS.
So, as you can see, the talent pool is infinitely smaller for tennis.
