BOF Posted October 30, 2013 Moderator Share Posted October 30, 2013 Owens is another one whose legend benefits from things other than his sporting prowess. Namely that he stuck it to Hitler.

Shillzz Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 How about Pelé? Arguably the greatest player from the most participated in sport. That has to count for something. If as many people played Tennis as Football, there's a good chance you'd never have heard of Roger Federer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
