It wasn't to be a fairytale finish on Saturday for AP McCoy as he finished 3rd in his final race, but there was an emotional send off for the record-breaking jockey as a sell-out crowd of more than 18,000 were there to see the 20-time champion bring an end to a glittering career after two decades at the top. During a record breaking career he has rode more than 4,300 winners, spent more than 1,000 weeks at the top of his game and broken more than 40 bones in the pursuit of winners. So where does he rank among the greatest sports persons to come out of Northern Ireland? Stephen spoke to commentator Heidi McAlpin and John Laverty, the executive editor of the Belfast Telegraph
