[BarryBreensBandage]

Is AP McCoy the greatest sportsperson to ever hail from this island?

Clare Balding said this evening that he is the greatest sportsperson she has ever met

4000 winners. Mental. He has a 24% win rate. He will never be equaled.

[Hoof Hearted]

Is AP McCoy the greatest sportsperson to ever hail from this island?

Clare Balding said this evening that he is the greatest sportsperson she has ever met

would be hard to argue with it.
His dedication is second to none, heard one jockey this evening in an interview saying that he once flew home from a 4 day golfing break to ride ONE horse at a meeting somewhere

if you read his book you would be amazed at some of the stories

According to his family, he will celebrate tonight in his pub with a glass of juice, and then has two races tomorrow and two on Saturday.
Unbelievable dedication.

How much credit should the jockey get when it's the horse that's doing the running?

Why would Cody get all the credit for managing the Kilkenny team when the players do all the work

All 4000 of those horses must have been pure class. Just watch the win yesterday for your answer.

Surely your man must have a point though - only in Ireland would your greatest ever sportsman be one who gets to the finish line on top of an animal.

As opposed to, say, someone who does it as part of a team of 11/15 players?

All a matter of opinion and where you rate certain sportspeople above others in terms of the merits of their particular sport.

Harrington, DJ, O'Dricsoll, Kelly, McGuigan, Katie Taylor even would all have a claim of being Ireland's best ever sportsperson

Out of that list, it has to be Frank McGuigan.

Not DJ Kane or Gary Kelly?
