Webbo Posted 23 February 2015 Posted 23 February 2015 I'll throw AB De Villiers into the mix... One of these people who are just sickeningly talented at everything. Also released his own hip-hop album in Afrikaans. Dennis and Les Compton should also be on the list. It's such a shame that the clubs wouldn't allow players to play professional cricket as well nowadays. apparently the Neville brothers could both have made it as cricketers (their sister played netball for England too) .
Webbo Posted 23 February 2015 Posted 23 February 2015 Maxwell Woosnam I like this story about Woosnam ; On the back of his tennis success he was made captain of Britain's Davis Cup team, and while leading a tour to the United States Woosnam was invited to Charlie Chaplin's Los Angeles mansion. After beating the film star at tennis, Mr Collins said Woosnam further humiliated his host by beating him at table tennis - playing with a butter knife. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-mid-wales-18810699
