A little New York bias there.

[METALMAN]

Patrick Ewing is one of the few US Sports names I recognise here. He was awesome though. Although my only experience of him was on an ancient NBA game I had for the gameboy ages ago.

He's still awesome. >_>

[livid]

You can love Johnson all you want but I prefer the ladies myself.

Oh and it hasn't quite been 3 years since Lemieux retired. He still has a day left.

Also with this three year thing, do Masters tours/events count?

For Golf I think if they're playing in just the majors then it shouldn't be a problem.....because guys earn exemptions into the major tournaments until they're pretty much dead. If they're playing other PGA events then I don't think they should count. If they're on the Champions tour and have been off of the PGA Tour for 3 years feel free to vote for them.

1. George Best

2. Peter Schmeichel

3. Pete Sampras

4. Pele

5. Muhammed Ali

Dayum.....there's a name I haven't heard in years. 2002 was his last World Cup right?

[Adam]

I don't think so. Sorensen was definitely the Danish keeper at the 2002 World Cup as I remember his mistake in England's 3-0 win over them. Schmeichel retired from the international game about a year beforehand.

My ballot:

1. Ayrton Senna

2. Pete Sampras

3. George Best

4. Michel Platini

5. Tony Adams

I wanted to list Schumacher but he hasn't been retired for three years, although I believe somebody else put him on their ballot.

[METALMAN]

Tony Adams...awesome.

[SeanDMan]

Liemuex wouldn't count given his comeback in 06/07 I don't think.

[Dynamite]

1. Maradona

2. George Best

3. Michael Jordan

4. Wilt Chamberlain

5. Eric Cantona

Just going by their respective nicknames, Good bunch.)

Hard to just pick 5.

[METALMAN]

1. Billy Bremner

2. Muhammad Ali

3. Mutari Muralithilan

4. Jonah Lomu

5. Bobby Moore

Who's Bremner?

Go fuck yourself, seriously. Sort your life out.

Yeah I mean wikipedia's just round the corner. >_>

Oh and Bremner was a sometime Scotland international that was banned for heavy drinking. I can't recall him doing anything else of note.

[sahyder1]

Schumacher has not been retired for 3 years much to my surprise. I stopped watching F1 when he retired and I could've sworn it was longer. Lemieux is good though. He announced his retirement on January 24th 2006.

[Slogger]

Has it only been that long for arguably the great driver in Formula 1 history? It feels like forever.

Just something to think about, Does it count if an athlete competes in a charity game/race something along those lines?

Edited January 24, 2009 by Superbowl Slogger

[sahyder1]

No. That's very hard to track down for everyone.

[Cactus Drags]

1. Walter Payton

2. Michael Jordan

3. Wayne Gretzky

4. Patrick Roy

5. George Halas
