How this great man, probably our greatest ever athlete, has not been knighted is a disgrace.

Britain’s greatest sports person
Any sport, any era

Daley, best athlete Britain has ever had.

The country was enthralled by his win because Daly is such a great personality too.

I once had the privilege of narrating a short documentary early in his career when his 100m best was 10.51 and he was surprised I knew it. He was a very charming, polite, warm and humble young athlete. I'm one of his biggest fans and it was a real treat to spend a little while in his company. Daley should have been knighted by now ! One of the greatest ever Athletes of our time.

Daley Thompson decathlon zx spectrum 48k ❤❤❤the memories the button tapping and of course praying the game would load😂😂

Watching Daley Thompson win the Decathlon at the LA '84 Olympic Games got me in love of the Olympic games forever. He was my god, my hero, my dream. I was an 11 years old boy, living in the Andes mountains of Colombia. I attended the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Games in his home city finally fulfilling my dream. Walking into the stadium that Friday afternoon was one of the happiest moments of my life. Thank Daley you for changing my life forever.

The greatest all-around  Athlete the UK has ever produced 👏

Daily Thompson Icon full stop 👏👏👏👏

Like most people I have never understood why he has never been to knighted they give them out like sweets to athletes  now but to a truly great sportsman the best we have ever had just a closed door.This was brilliant 👏 thanks for the memories 😊

Very proud to have met this great man. Daley Thompson is a UK London and Chiswick legend!!👍🙏👏👏👏

10.27 for the 100m in a decathlon nearly 40 years ago; unbelievable.

Imagine the training effort necessary to be the best in decathlon.

The Ultimate Competitor

I am truly honored that Daly Thompson invited me to join his pre 84 Olympic Decathlon meet at UCLA.  I qualified for the American Olympic trails and Daly placed me next to him in every running race.   Special thanks to Worlds Greatest Athlete ⭐👍 Daly Thompson

I'm 79 years old and I've been involved in sports since I can think. I began at ten years old with amateur boxing and gymnastics. The two most outstanding Olympic athletes of all time, in my opinion, are Eric Heiden and Daly Thompson. Eric, because he absolutely obliterated all the competition and won all the Gold Medals going for his event in speed skating and Daly Thompson because he won Olympic Gold medals back to back against the most stiffest competition. An absolute hero in my book!

I also met Siggi Hintz on a number of occasions when I lived in Germany. An absolute gent and very friendly indeed. That's in contrast to your man Hingsen, who I met in Rome, Italy in the late 1980s. He was just so arrogant and full of himself, the arsehole. Make of that what you will.

They used to wear very short shorts back then. Phew 😅

Miss that era..

Definitely Britain's greatest ever athlete!!!! Legendary!!!!

I remember watching this with my mum and we both had a crush on Daley Thompson because he's beautiful and he keeps winning 😊
