If those who did play their sport, but made their name as managers count. Haven’t posted these in my chosen order, bar the first and second places. IMHO he added, for safety. Just bubbling under the top 10, Craig Whyte, for services to fitba’.

Oddly enough, my top 6 are exactly the same as yours (slightly diff order, flipping Wells and Buchanan). Havent included managers.

So - 

  • Andy Murray
  • Chris Hoy
  • Ken Buchanan
  • Allan Wells
  • Kenny Dalglish
  • Jackie Stewart

I personally also rate Billy McNeill very highly too. Legend of Scottish fitba’. The Lisbon Lions are probably the only thing about the ‘Old Firm’ that I can fully admit to admiring and just simply recognising as being great - if I separate the achievement from elements of the support still seemingly able to spontaneously burst into tears at the mere thought of them.

On the other side of that coin…. Fcuk, only Ally McCoist really. McCoist is aw’right.

Anyway, Billy McNeil, a true great IMHO.

What? The team that just got pumped by Japan and their captain Jumbo Ozaki?

Toss up between Andy Murray and Josh Taylor. Taylor’s run of six fights included beating six top level fighters with only one defeat on their combined records (and that was to Terence Crawford, arguably the greatest fighter of the modern era) was astonishing.

The Duke of Argyll.

Which is also exacerbated when sitting atop an elephant for hours, one imagines.
