Sportsmen Identifiable By Their First Names

[Graudian]

I got to thinking about the number of sportsmen we can identify
just from their first names.

As sport nut I would immediately know who they were-
Golf....Seve, Sergio, Tiger ,Bubba
Motor sport ... Ayrton, Stirling
Athletics ...Usain, Seb
Horse racing...Lester

Do you have any?

[Caribeing]

Football George, Bobby,Denis, Billy
Cricket Ian, Shane,Geoff
Tennis, Jimmy Bjorg, John!

[-Talbot-]

Lots of the suggestions are not right really are they.

[Graudian]

I don't think Pele qualifies as a first name talbot.

[Tilly2]

Cars ......Jenson


Cricket....Geoff, and gorgeous Stuart :-)

[fiction-factory]

Yaya, Lionel?, Christiano.
Jose (if you include managers)

[-Talbot-]

Ah, yes read the Q as known by one name.

But without naming the sport first who would know you were talking about Andy Murray or Henry Cooper?

[-Talbot-]

Boxing - Henry

Henry Wharton?

[Graudian]

Agreed talbot.

If you threw out the names John, Tim , Henry etc it would not
immediately connect to a particular individual.
Thanks to all for you posts but, with respect, I think some have missed
the point.

Horse racing....Barsteward, any losing jockey!

[Tilly2]

I was enjoying that. Who's missed the point then?

[Cloverjo]

Tilly, which Martina? There were two greats. One greater than the other, but still two.

[Tilly2]

The Czech one.

I'm having to think hard who some of you are talking about, so I suppose that misses the point doesn't it?

[Graudian]

Well Prudie.

The point I was trying to make that certain sportsmen can be identified
by their first names alone.
If you Google any of the 9 names I mentioned you would left in no doubt
about the person.
If you Google Geoff, Stuart , John Andy etc you would be offered a vast
list of persons having no lasting claim to anything really.

[Graudian]

well said ^

[Prudie]

Yes I know all yours and get what you're aiming at, it was some of the other suggestions I'm finding hard.

[-Talbot-]

Without knowing you are talking about golf ...

Sergio Ramos

Sergio Agüero

[Togo]

Babe (not the pig) Ruth.

[-Talbot-]

Sergio Busquets

[-Talbot-]

Babe Ruth is the same as Pele ... not allowed
