Have an idea of most of the others but not definate on nay of them, as I am with the ones I have answered.
Not a clue about the Cricket one as I don’t have and never will have any interest in that sport. :)
I really should know “the flying Scotsman” :|
I really should know “the flying Scotsman” :|Why would you know about a cyclist? How didn’t you know Maradonna!!!!?
Had a feeling it was Maradona but wasn’t sure, because “the flying Scotsman” really badly rings a bell!!

I can also guarantee you that you would NOT have known it.. I am not posting the answer as I did not get it fairly, I did indeed ask my Dad, as he has just arrived back from work :D
Whispering Death is Michael Holding.
These two i’m not so sure but The Grinder may be Cliff Thorburn and The Blond Adonis is Steve Beaton I think.
James, tell me who The Flying Scotsman is as it’s doin my nut in n’all.

Greame Obree… When I said I thought I knew some, Steve beaton being the Bronze**(Not blonde :) ) Adonis was one.. I would assume that it is correct :)
Googler
Aye Bronze. don’t know why I said Blonde. I was wrong after all about that Cyclist.
And I didn’t google, if you watch any of these sports, you’d know who they were, as they’re all pretty well known.
I don’t have a scooby about the others mind.
I was on about JamesC.
I was on about JamesC.Did not use google. I knew the ones that I put down.. Didn’t need google for the cyclist as i asked my Dad!
I really don’t know why I knew number 9 though.. It is just a random thing I knew.. I know nothing about swimming :?

Alright pinocchio 8-)
Eat log knobcheese! Riles me up when I get accused of things when I clearly haven’t :evil:
Like getting barred from King St at the weekend for ‘Taking drugs’ in the alleyway when I was simply being sick!!.. Wouldn’t mind the accusation because I assume it is quite regular but when they wouldn’t let me prove it I was pee’d off!
