#THANKSAP: As the clock ticks down on AP McCoy’s career, it’s difficult to comprehend just how unrivaled his achievements and contribution to his sport have been when measured up against the sporting greats.
Did you know that as 19-time Champion Jump Jockey (soon to be 20) he has held the #1 mantle in his sport for an astonishing 1040 weeks? That dwarfs Tiger’s 545 weeks at the top of the World Golf Rankings and Roger Federer’s combined 302 weeks as World Tennis No.1.
As passionate race lovers and a sincere ‘Thanks for the Memories AP’, we’ve pulled together some of his most impressive achievements in this infographic – from his first win aboard Legal Steps in ’92 to his 4,000th on Mountain Tunes and beyond.
Take a peak below and if, like us you’re blown away by a truly one off sporting hero then why not share it on social below as #ThanksAP!
We’ll miss you, let’s hope for a winner or two at Sandown this Saturday!
