Advantages: Greatest Olympian of all time

Disadvantages: none

I have just finished watching the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year and thought I had to comment on the man- Steve Redgrave!
Steve Redgrave deservedly won the award as the sports personality of the year, but in particular I would like to comment on the speech he made.
In these money mad times in sport, sportspeople are usually only looking out for number one, themself. How refreshing it was to see this man, who could quite understandably bask in all the glory (after all he is the greatest Olympian of all time), take them time out to thank all those people who had helped in such a sincere manner. In particular the way he spoke about his great colleague Matt Pinsent. His words almost had Matt in tears (yes we could see those eyes glisten Matt!!). He took time out to thank all his coaches and his fellow oarsmen who helped him achieve so much.
This man is indeed a great and whatever he decides to do with his life following his retirement I wish him all the luck in the world!!
