    I had to google Joe "who?" Montana :shock:

    Difficult one, what criteria – achievements, talent, fame, etc?

    Anyway, my four would be:

    Thierry Henry – talent, strike rate, longevity, professionalism and sheer weight of awards won, they don’t give away statues at Arsenal you know

    Joe Calzaghe – Beating all he could face, longevity at the top level and doing what only a handful of boxers have ever done, finishing as unbeaten world champ

    Ronnie O’Sullivan – unquestionably the greatest natural talent his game has ever seen, ability to do things no opponent can, achievements and winnings while undoubtedly also under-achieving

    Phil Taylor – the best at his game ever, twenty years at the top and no sign of stopping, sheer scale of achievements will never be equalled

    Can’t have jockeys or racing drivers as the best achievers in those type of events have the help of the best partners.

    These are well justified.
