I think it's more appropriate to nominate individual sportsmen/women rather than participants in team sports.* I also think we should exclude people dependent on the quality of their equipment, such as jockeys and racing drivers. Niche sports such as tennis are a bit problematic, since success is often associated with a degree of privilege. Finally, no managers or coaches; could we imagine Alf Ramsey featuring in an equivalent English list?

* I could see exceptions in cases such as George Best, Pele and Maradona.

It's quite obviously Andy Murray.

Is it feck.

It's very obviously Old Tom Morris.

OK, Andy M has had a storied career and is a great role model.

However, OTM basically gave the world a sport and showed how it should be played. A completely unique contribution to global culture, imho.

Can't believe it took 4 pages for the definitive answer.

Driving a car is not a sport. 

Playing snooker, throwing darts or rolling bowls are not sports.
