South Africa has had its fair share of controversial white sportsmen. Ali Bacher (rebel tours), Hansie Cronje (match fixing) and Andre Markgraaf (the k-word), come to mind. Bacher and Markgraaf have repented. Cronje has moved on to higher places. But in my book, Gary Player — "I am a South African of Verwoerd and apartheid" (<i>Grand Slam Golf</i>, 1966) tops the list.
