Bob Nudd, longer career and only an MBE - and denied Sports Personality of the Year, despite winning the vote.
Yes, read up on this guy and quite a career, but is he still winning the biggest competitions in the business as opposed to local events that do not have international competitors?
So looked further into this as seriously, few seem to understand exactly what I and a few others are referring to and yes I'm a Ronnie fan(plus a snooker fan) but it's more amazing when you see the stats. Again, who today, in any sport, is still playing(competing) having started winning the majors(in their specific sport from competition all over the World at any age) over 30 years ago and still doing so by winning these same majors in 2024?
