    I decided on 1 person per sport

    Daley Thompson
    Ayrton Senna
    Martin Schanche (Rallycross driver and absolute nutter)
    Stuart Pearce
    Pirmin Zurbriggen (downhill skier)
    Steve Redgrave
    John McEnroe
    Nick Faldo
    Steve Davies
    Red Rum yeah, it's a horse, but it was between Red Rum and Desert Orchid, which is also a horse.
