British footballer. Two time league winner, then lengthy career as a TV sports pundit. Very well known here. Last time you asked I couldn't think of a US equivalent and I still can't because I don't watch NFL.

 

Maybe John Madden? Though he was a coach rather than player.

I thought Madden was more sort of Des Lynam? I don't know, or that he was a coach, in fact.

 

Any retired 2 time Superbowl winners that younger folk would recognise as a pundit?

Bart Starr? Though he wasn't a TV sports pundit, but he was named MVP for the first two Super Bowls, and then became a coach. That's the best I got...

Fair enough. Anyhow, he's quite famous. So famous, my wife's heard of him, and she doesn't follow sports at all.

msc, your wife's the smartest person who has ever posted here, albeit vicariously.

Personally, Billy Graham is at the top of my list.

Hey, if I listened to her deadpool advice (she doesn't deadpool) my team would doing far better right about now. She advised against picking Nevin, Baghdadi and Lakovic.

 

She did make one post on here, iirc, about a decade ago - it was about Levi-Strauss or Geertz or someone like that.

Somebody who is apparently in the know on Twitter claiming Jerry Lewis has died 

 

Can't verify but thought worth flagging up on here

Jerry Lewis has been confirmed as the 10th hit.

Will done to the 6 posters that  got Jerry Lewis right.

As Jerry was good enough to oblige, thread closed.
