The greatest moment by a sporting figure outside of sport?
with all the talk of bad role models in sport, people only really hold the candle to sporting figures when they get into strife and do badly in life..tiger woods, marion jones, tim montgomery, ben johnson, mike tyson, eric cantona to name just a few
so id like to see positive sporting role models get recognised for their contributions to life and not just sport. so name your greatest moment by an athlete outside of sport i know i posted this a while back on TFP, but this remains by far my greatest moment by an athlete outside of sport. One of the few heart touching stories that managed to get a tear out of me. Bernard, an Executioner in the ring, but a gentleman out of it. Quote:

Perhaps not the greatest....but Arthur Ashe's crusade against apartheid and his commitment to human rights and social justice would be high on my list.
