I live in London and i'd say that the average Londoner who is interested in sports would know who Joe Calzaghe and Ricky Hatton were. Outside of people with a knowledge of sports im not so sure. But the same could be said for any sports people who are not in the public eye 24/7
Norway, Germany, Denmark, Scandinavia: all the same. Are there even real people where you live? Or are they all brainless?
Henry Maske was voted sportsman of the year in 1993. And I'm afraid, he'll be sportsman of the year 2007, too. :nut
