Schumacher tops German greats poll

Germans have voted Michael Schumacher as the greatest German sports figure of all time.

After Dirk Nowitzki became the first German to win an NBA title last weekend, Bild started a poll to find out who was regarded as the best sportsperson that Germany has produced. Out of over 56,000 votes, Schumacher came out on top earning over 28% of the share. That was more than double the amount of second-placed man Franz Beckenbauer, with the football legend receiving less than 13%.

Nowitzki himself rounded out the top three with 12.4%, while reigning world champion Sebastian Vettel - despite dominating this season so far - was only 10th with 1.8%.
