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?

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?

Henry Wharton?

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.

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

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

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.
