Tough question. There are several people who could really be chosen. I won't vote, at least until I've had a really good think about the matter.

However, the fact Button is up is a laugh and why are Damon and Graham Hill put together? Graham was in a different class from his son.

British, eh?
It's funny how suddenly they are British. In football they are Scots, Welsh, English, Northern Irish - I've always wondered why the Brits are allowed to have 4 sides while everybody else has only one. I don't know of another sport that gives them this unfair privilege - anybody?

Yeah, I know it's politics and history and I could swallow it if it was throughout all sports, but only in football? Or are there more? Like rugby, cricket and other weird activities the Brits enjoy?

And besides, those governments you mention are not any more independent than most regional governments that may exist in other countries. So, e.g., Quebec should have their own football side?

quebec is part of Canada, Scotland is part of the Great Britian, GB rules over Scotland, Wales & Ireland

Rugby: in union, there isnt a UK or GB, but in "League" there is a GB
Motorracin: they are classed under UK
soccer: (man i hate that term): they each have there own FA so go figure
Athletics: they are classed as B, but with a UK flag

HAHA yeah...he's missed one person out Eddie Irvine LOL


Eddie himself might count that he is British but here in the Republic we always recognized that he was Irish. N.I is still Ireland only difference that it is under British rule.
