Legend. he's my go to name when I see a kid doing well in sport..
Saw this live. The greatest UK athlete ever covered by the greatest UK athletics commentator ever - take a bow Daley Thompson and RIP Ron Pickering!!
Thank you Daley thompson for so many great childhood memories. True grit.
By far the Greatest British sportsman of all-time for me. Its a 'from the gut' assessment, I just feel Daley was elite in every respect, mentality etc. Like Marvon Hagler he was ahead of his time in many ways
Greatest athlete i'v ever seen
I remember this...he was bloody fantastic..
Couldn't beat Brian Jacks on superstars, but agreed
What a privilege to know you in those heady day Daley x
Thompson could always get the performance he needed when the chips were down. An awesome clutch performer.
I was there and thoroughly enjoyed Daley Thompson's performance. I happened to be sitting in a row behind a young German lad who was there to cheer on Jurgen Hingsen and his partner Kratchmer. We had some banter back and forth that turned into a friendship. I didn't know much about what was going on in the decathlon world at the time, but I learned that Hingsen usually higher marks when Thompson wasn't around, but whenever he competed head to head against Thompson, Thompson would beat him. The wonderful thing about Thompson is that he didn't look like he took everything so seriously and I think it helped his performance. He was just a lot of fun to watch, an easy guy to root for.
Simply the GOAT
I love athlete like this...Always would Give these People their Respect,these are God's and Heros in Sports🙏🏽🦸🏽♂️🏃🏽♂️🥇🏆

Dear BLM..THIS is how its Done! He worked his ASS OFF! #LEGEND
Exactly,he never played the victim just got on with it, true alpha
Great athlete.....but a very rude person in the flesh....I would never go out of my way again to ask him for a photo ...he should be privileged hes remembered....my daughter didn't know who he was....commodore 64 that's it...
Depends. If he was on a public appearance, and refused a photo, your assessment would be justified. But if you bumped into him while he was in his 'private' life, your assessment would definitely be unfair.
That's what happened when you think you're God,s gift to man. His not worth a photo.
Good athlete... So what? Sprawling conurbation, LA... Suppose they enjoy wasting precious time in Palm Springs... END
Are you high? What are you saying
