Andy Murray!! 22:02 - Sep 1 with 1110 viewsDarth_Koont

Has there ever been such a fighter in British sport?

I'm not convinced it's healthy for him in the long run but jeez.

Pronouns: He/Him

Doesn't get the love and respect he deserves. All because of one joke which didn't come over when printed.

Truly impaired.

I wouldn’t be too hasty there, tune in to BBC breakfast, any day, any week, any year and there is always a mention of Andy Murray in the sports news, if he isn’t mentioned it means their editor is off sick.

Joking aside, he’s done well.

Literally, Nigel Benn.

But yes, Andy is a top top sportsman.

It's not healthy but that's how he is wired.
I totally understand his mentality. It's addictive to push yourself.

Has there been such a fighter? Yes and given time I'd list many.
However, no list should detract from the depth of guts that bloke has.

Awesome.

Assumption is to make an ass out of you and me. Those who assume they know you, when they don't are just guessing. Those who assume and insist they know are daft and in denial. Those who assume, insist, and deny the truth are plain stupid. Those who assume, insist, deny the truth and tell YOU they know you (when they don't) have an IQ in the range of 35-49.

Yes, but I'm a massive fan of Murray. Other contenders include:

Terry Butcher. Famous for bleeding for his country, bled much more for his club.

Sir Steve Redgrave, battling his body as much as anyone else.

Tyson Fury getting up against Wilder.

Sadly, Ricky Hatton, who kept getting back up and booking more fights.

But the British sportspeople who epitomised guts and determination, and, I'm ashamed to say, taught this "Joey Deacon Blue Peter era" supposed-adult a massive lesson, were the 2012 Paralympians. Hannah Cockcroft smashing everyone with a massive beaming smile, Ellie Simmonds in a category which put her up against people with twice her height and reach, or, I defy anyone not to get dust in their eye when they read about Derek Derenlagi, one example amongst several other injured military veterans who compete for Team GB:

They opened my eyes to the patronising "well done you" narrative which surrounds disability, and which I had bought into, and proved beyond any doubt that they are way, way more impressive people than I could ever be.

Yeah, bloody moaning loser!

Always going to be a struggle after the first match physically but doesn't help when you're up against someone who was also unbeatable on their serve. Opponent never let him into the match from the start.
