Simen Agdestein is a chess grandmaster. He has won seven Norwegian chess championships, including the 2005 title
Simen Agdestein was also a professional footballer who represented the Norway national football team. He played as a striker. Now his post-match interviews may have been more intelligible than most!
Ian Bothamwas was a genuine all-rounder with 14 centuries and 383 wickets in Test cricket, also grabbing 120 catches while fielding predominantly in the slips.
Botham also made 11 appearances for Scunthorpe United in 1980. He played as a central defender.
Gavin Hastings as part of the Scotland rugby union team played an important role in a memorable Six Nations Grand Slam decider against England in 1990.

Michael Jordan was best known for his basketball feats. Known as "Air Jordan" because it seemed like he could fly he is arguably the best of all time.
Michael Jordan #45 for the Birmingham Barons the Double A minor league affiliate of the Chicago White Sox. Jordan played for the Barons from 1994-95.
Fred Perry is well remembered as a former World No. 1 tennis player. During his time he won 10 Majors including eight Grand Slams and two Pro Slams single titles, as well as six Major doubles titles. He also did a nice range of clothing!
Perry was less known for his table tennis achievements which is understandable as he was only the WORLD CHAMPION (in 1929).
Jeff Wilson appeared 71 times for the All Blacks, including 60 tests and played in the 1995 and 1999 Rugby World Cups. Up until 2002, he held the All Blacks try scoring record, with 44 tries from his 60 Test matches.
