Well, I'm fairly certain of one thing, that photo encapsulates the greatest ever achievement by a football manager and his players, certainly in this country and probably elsewhere. From Third Division south to League One ( Premier League today ) Champions in 6 years. Including three different league titles, Third Division South, League 2 ( Championship today ) and League one, the very next season! You will never see the likes of it again. Makes the Leicester acheivement a decade ago look like a walk in the park.

Replace "League 1" with "First Division" throughout.
Replace "League 2" with "Second Division" throughout.

Before today I'd have said anyone breaking a sub 2 marathon (in race conditions) should top this list, but with 3 people breaking the men's world record and the female record going too you'd have to say it's becoming more and more about the shoes rather than the peak of human accomplishment

Yep, correct. Happily doesn't alter the outcome! Simply mind boggling acheivement and just a reminder of the sort of footsteps KM is following in.

Didn't even pop into my head until I saw your answer, because it isn't a 'one-off' achievement, but I think you've got this spot on. Bradman's average is so ridiculously far ahead of ANYONE it is scarcely believable.

I don't know if it qualifies as "sporting" achievement, but Felix Baumgartners skydive from the edge of Space is one I revisited recently. 24 miles straight down, falling at 843 mph at one point.
