Fred Perry won 8 grand slams.

Can't compare slams prior to the open era.

If you want to denounce his achievements then that's up to you.

yes, but would he be a better alternative to Andrew Hodd?

Perfectly happy to say that slams when only amateurs could compete are not comparable to modern day.

Like saying the BDO darts world champs is on a par with PDC. If you believe that then fair play.

Phil Taylor has won 16 world titles, 2 of them were with the BDO when all the best players were competing at that time, once the defection happened then i don't personally class BDO titles as world titles.

Murray would have my vote for the most graceless and obnoxious sportsman.

Surely Danny Willett's was the most impressive English achievement of 2016 - I do know that the B in BBC counts for British - Olympics included. Didn't the Brownlies win gold and silver? The helping over the line was in another competition; astonishing that people seem to have found something sinister in it.

Bring on YEXIT.
