OK, Andi's "return" to the forum earlier this evening, coupled with his rant about how he has now held the record four times, has reminded me of how we keep having the debate about who is the "best" or the "most prolific" challenger of all time.
With that in mind, I have created this poll. There are only four options, but as the fourth one covers "everyone else", your choices are kind of limitless. I think the three named options given are the ones that most people would choose as the shortlist.
I've allowed a "someone else" option in case you don't think any of the people I've suggested are worthy of the title. If you choose "someone else", please say who it is, and why. You may also change your vote if you wish.
Carry on.

It's not a bloody quiz - it's a serious question. There are no right answers, and no prizes.

As Murray Walker would say "Fan-tas-tic".
If there were still end of the year tube awards (which there isn't), then that post would win (something).

Re: Most prolific tube challenger of all time
That is an excellent post, Matt. However, my own conclusion was far simpler to make: I don't care.
Records matter. Opinion doesn't. I'll congratulate whoever gets the fastest time, and that's it. So I'm not going to vote in this poll.
Hope you all have fun though

I voted for Bob Robinson as Andi's lack of punctuation and Geoff's habit of saying "would of" both annoy me.
