Flying Ginger!
People of the Ginger persuasion have been known to posses a certain amount of pace and skill when it comes to sports…..well kind of. Possibly this is due to that fire in their belly/on their head, that has allowed them to excel at certain sports. But who is the greatest Ginger sports person? Who has dominated there chosen sport and set the bar high for all gingers to aspire to? Its not the whose who of sport but dam it, they deserve some recognition!

I think the old Mark Mcgwire placing might be a bit dodge….but can’t think of too many other gingers???
It was a tough list to create but yeah Mark Mcgwire was touch and go especially with all the drug admissions now……hmmm but lets see who else people might come up with.
rod laver is an obvious omission…maybe pollock too
Pollock is a good call and had not heard of Rod Laver but 7 consecutive years as number one in tennis is pretty amazing!
I like your list though I disagree with your number 1. Wayne Rooney would be my pick for the top spot.
