There is never going to be a substitute for nostalgia. I love these memories. My late father was a non gambler but made an exception when he backed AP on Make A Stand . What a slick hurdler and what a jockey!

at 1.13 he says I would love to be champion jockey until i retire and he was... all the way until 2015.. amazing talent and a true champion

A long overdue honour to the greatest NH jockey in our lifetime. Arise Sir AP McCoy, you deserve the accolade.

The Best there was only one Mc Coy simply the greatest jockey of them all and a complete gentleman I had the pleasure of speaking to him at Ayr he's a gem thanks for memories champ

What an amazing Champion Tony McCoy was. Good tipster too.

Wishing a very happy retirement to this fantastic sportsman and legend. Hope to see you back in racing sometime in the future AP.

Without doubt any jockey riding over the fences are incredibly brave and highly skilled. In an age where athletes from many sports are horridly pampered, these jockeys stand alone as model athletes and paragons of virtue.

A horse i have never ever forgot, Valiramix. I honestly think he would have gone on to be one of the best national hunt horses ever, An amazing imposing looking horse and so sad how his life ended.

LEGEND

Very apt comments @ 1:12:54 "I'd love to be Champion Jockey until I retire"

You are a great jockey and athlete

Hes a fantastic role model and brilliant jockey some of the comments are from ignorant people 👏

Was a man who cares about his horses the big grey took a lot out of him was the greatest young jockeys should look at him and think before they take a bung or stop a horse hard work and determination goes a long way

we all have a favourite Jockey my three where Pat Willie and Piggot back then no others came close. today FRANKIE... TO me there is n another fine Jockey he was called Kieran Fallon that man started when he was 17 years old in Ireland he found it tuff back then but he went on to make a name for himself all the top Breeders picked him to ride their horses. he won all the top prize races the think with all the great Jockeys they had to make the wait trying to loss 4 bs just to ride a horse that day was no fun most of them had to make them self-sick all the time.

Thx

He should be nicknamed the un breakable

Hero

Greatest Jockey of all time!

Hi think that a p mccoy smilpy the best jockey 🏇 that ever in my eyes plus good bit about racing late dad was racehorse trainer then miss Victoria Jane twibell

Hurray hes going excellent racing will recover now.

7:28 Dudley!!!! LOL!

That Stelling from Sky Sports narrating?

Make that 245 Likes.

Hurray he is retiring can he finnish today another 3 months to go dam

make a stand great horse

He isnt very safety conscious driving a car. He wasnt wearing a seatbelt

He bears a very strong resemblance to swimmer Michael Phelps!

Is this being a.p or am I still missing something

32.40

This was brilliant till Graham Bradley darkened the door...McCoy would never fix a race

A P McCoy, small loss..............

Horse racing is an extremely corrupt ''sport" I wonder does Tony know anything about that.

if it was regulated properly, there be untold in prison, jockeys and trainers

well i have always rated richard johnson as the best current nh jockey and mccoy the worst ?

a p didnt win enough big races unlike lester piggot, he got bad racehorses to win bad races, ryan giggs won more medal than anyone else, that doesnt mean he was the best

Sir ???? Thick paddy

Anthony Peader MAC COY an Ancient Irish name better than Walsh a norman/blood name. Do your homework before you open your mouth. A.H.'s

Bull shit you telling me, he has not through a race for someone, or rigged it between jockeys themselves....... it's a mugs game,they don't give a shit about punters, but want your money for the jockeys fund....

How many losers has he rode because what I have seen of this jockey very poor needs gaff tracks and odds on fav. Most of his wins were down to the great martin pipe.

Poor horses! This is just cruel and nothing else! Jockeys are just pieces of shit for doing this to animals! And of cause everyone else who supports horse races

All he does is whip a horse all day, disgraceful
