Gerwyn Price darts world number one having previously been a professional rugby union player. Has anyone ever got to the top of one elite sport having previously been pro in a very different one?
Don’t give me someone who has played both rugby codes and AFL or NFL. They’re too similar! Have to be radically different sports.
What about Michael Jordan’s time in minor league baseball? Is that reallt comparable to Price’s rugby career? Arguably Price is the greater all-round sportsman
Thanks for all the replies, genuinely, but what’s really interesting me here are the sports that are especially different from one another. Boxing and football - yes. Football and Gaelic football - no. Basketball and baseball - yes. Any two forms of racing/speed sport - no.
