sports records

[kopend]

what is the name of the man who hold loads of sports records

i.e 147 at snooker / tennis grand slam / golf major etc etc

[factor-fiction]

No man has won/achieved two or more of the three things you mentioned.
Have I misunderstood your question?

[daftgrandad]

Lee Majors aka Bionic Man ?

[weecalf]

BBC filing manager Bert?

[factor-fiction]

Norris McWhirter? (Not sure of spelling)

[kopend]

i cant remember exactley what he won

altough i am pretty sure about the snooker but he was good at about 20 different sports i.e played for englang football and rugby and cricket teams . i know it sounds far fetched but it was something crazy if not exactley what i have suggested

[weecalf]

Was he in ripping yarns

[factor-fiction]

It was your use of the term "i.e." that confused me.
So are looking for someone who was good at a number of sports.
There were a few cricketers who played professional football, most notably Dennis Compton
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Compton who represented England at both sports.

I can't imagine anyone achieved the sort of records youa re talking about in several sports

they mentioned him on talk sport ages ago (haksbee and jacobs) who thought it was made up . but when they looked into it said it was true???

[Davethedog]

No one has done the above in fact no one has one a Tennis grand slam and won a golf major.

Except maybe Wilson or Alf Tupper.
