Tony McCoy

Tony McCoy's numbers read like a typo until you realize they are real. A record 4,358 winners and twenty consecutive Champion Jockey titles, meaning he topped the standings every single professional year. To me that is not talent alone but an almost frightening capacity to endure a sport defined by falls and fractures. The 2010 BBC Sports Personality award and his knighthood feel almost understated against that resume. I keep coming back to the image of a seventeen-year-old riding his first winner, then stacking thousands more through sheer, unbroken will. He earns my deepest respect.
