The truth about Daley Thompson

[@Jazzhop101]

Good point, why has he not been honoured? He is simply a living legend!

[@TheVanguard333]

Because he's not a transgender, he's normal instead

[@robertwyatt6793]

Because he’s not white

[@kevinsyd2012]

He has a CBE

[@trevordale1038]

iT's a Black ting!

[@paulmint1858]

What a hero….a crying shame he’s not recognised as our greatest decathlete

[@davidhenryandthemysterons3220]

We love him, such a big-headed attitude that brings back gold🥇🥇🥇🥇

[@peterstanford1831]

GOAT

[@izzihusenne2186]

Best athlete this country has ever produced....

Legend..

[@elliotvansertima2039]

Still no knight hood what a sham 😢

[@stevemann1299]

He was rude to royalty and they snubbed him. As great as he was he lacked class and restraint. And that didn't sit well with the elite.

[@tonyclifton2230]

​@stevemann1299 he is better off without it. Lacked class? He was a champ unlike the royals. No champs there. He should be bestowing honours on them.

his Thomson adverts with the cat were brilliant when I was a kid

[@jimbo6059]

He trained with us at Crawley as well. Did clinics at the old leisure centre in the 1980s

[@LoganFuller-wu9ik]

Should be sir daily Thomson

[@tyronevaldez-kruger5313]

Should be 100. Probably said something negative about the Crown

[@lasvegas4164]

A great guy. He trained with us in San Diego California for a while.

[@stevewise1656]

I met him at an empty Mount Sac relays sitting in the stands. He was sitting right behind me and I was 15. Didn't act like he was a big deal and had already won a gold.

Loved that Lucozade ad he did, with the Iron Maiden track. Great days... ❤

The robo-voice narrator needs replacing. That was terrible.

[@ig495]

relax mate its not that bad lol

[@ruthwashbrook4759]

​@ig495 It was, total mispronouncing of names of people and places. If you're going to do something like this AT LEAST do the decent thing and have it narrated properly

[@got2bharmony]

He's a legendary athlete, not a diplomat. He was targeted by the press because he wore a t-shirt with a questionable slogan and made a somewhat coarse jokey statement aimed at one of the Royal Family. It's childish to expect top sports stars to be faultless role models.

[@anthonyclarke5579]

Magnificent athlete. Listed to both him and Steve Redgrave on TalkSport 2 for the Paris Olympics but sadly both of them were poor on the microphone, neither have an engaging voice. Thompson needs to be honoured to a higher lever.

[@MrGwaldo]

His Trainer Bob Mortimer truly is multi talented; Athletics, Law, Comedy . . .

[@2natree854]

Love the man ❤ Gets finer with age!

I'm watching this because DAYLY,,,,,,, Has always been a CHAMPION FOR US🇬🇧🗣️📢🥇 Hes a Sir to a lot of us,,,,,,💪💯🇬🇧 THANK YOUR SIR⚖️👍🙏🏆😍🎥🎬🇬🇧💯💯⚖️

[@XX-wd9xn]

What a superman and legend. Greatest Olympian ever for his underdog and never say die attitude. An amazing human being. He should be above knighthood, that's how GREAT he is . King Charles needs to wise up and give him the much and absolutely deserved knighthood. Our Greatest athlete and see coed and others AGREE 🎉😢🎉

[@geegod9122]

Never knew Thompson was part Nigerian, was not many nigeria pplz around those times lol you could count on 1 hand but big up dailey Thompson

[@oluyinkafakunle1092]

His name is Dele

[@wilhelmw3455]

His full name is actually Francis Morgan Ayodele Thompson, Daley is obviously short for Ayodele.

[@teeteeme5752]

How can Daley be short for Dele? White people should know how to pronounce Nigerian names and like Sade Adu, he should have stuck to Dele ​@@wilhelmw3455
