    Best sportsmen never to have won.

    Name the best..........

    1. International footballer never to have won the world cup?
    2. Footballer in Europe never to have won the European Cup/Champions League?
    3. Golfer never to have won a major?
    4. Tennis player never to have won a grand slam event?
    5. Boxer never to have won a world title?
    6. Olympic athlete to never win a gold medal?
    7. Snooker player never to win the world championship?

    I am sure there are plenty more sports that I could mention but I think the above questions should give up a few different answers!

            best footballer not to be involved in the world cup has to be George Best, if he was a Brazilian he would have been known as one of the best players in the world ever, that means on par with Pele, Cruyf, Maradonna

              so true, never involved in world cup, and one, if not one of the best to grace the game, this side of the world.

                        couldn't argue with you except for one,henry cooper great on british and european scene at the time but with the likes of liston, clay, and patterson plying their trade at that time no.not heavy enough for a start most of his fight weights were between 13 and 13 and a half stone also suffered from too many cuts,his only claim to fame in world boxing was the knockdown of clay when clay was a great young brash upcoming boxer.

                          i stand corrected you are right my friend, he did win it but i wasn't sure thats why i put a '?'

                          According to wiki Baresi didn't even play a minute during that World Cup and ended up with a winners medal.
