MORE than 700 names are etched into the Spirit of Sport statue, sitting in the shadow of the University of Bolton Stadium.
But how many do you know?
Today we publish the full list of all the names on the monument, which was erected in 2005 to pay tribute to Bolton's rich sporting history and includes everyone from international stars to community heroes.
For the first time since 2010, Bolton Council plans to add another 75 names and photographs to the 86ft statue.
Currently, the Spirit of Sport is adorned with legends of years gone by, including Alan Ball, Nat Lofthouse and Ernie Guild as well as those still plying their trade, like Tom Lancashire, Sam Allardyce and Amir Khan.
Read to the bottom of the story for the full list of names and sports represented. But first check out these 10 greats who feature:
Jason Kenny- Cyclist
No British athlete has more Olympic gold medals than Jason Kenny.
The 30-year-old cyclist, born in Farnworth, was one of the biggest stars of the 2016 competition in Rio, where he brought home three golds.
In September 2016, he married fellow cyclist Laura Trott. He has since returned to cycling and is planning a return at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
Ernie Guild- Paralympian
Ernie Guild won a gold medal in Shot Putt in the Paralympics in Seoul in 1988.
He went on to compete as an athlete for Great Britain in two other Paralympic Games; Barcelona and Atlanta.
After his retirement, he was heavily involved in disability sports, serving as the vice-chair of WheelPower and the director of the English Federation of Disability Sport.
Alan Ball- Footballer
Alan Ball was part of England's greatest footballing success when he won the 1966 World Cup alongside Geoff Hurst, Gordon Banks and Bobby Moore.
The Farnworth-born star was the youngest member of the England team in that tournament and went on to play in the 1970 in Mexico and 1974 in West Germany.
Vivien Makin- Hockey manager
Vivien Makin has been involved in the Elton Brook Hockey Team and Bolton Hockey League since 1965.
She has been one of the driving forces behind women's hockey in Bolton for many years, helping to organise and administrate the league.
Dave Higson- Football commentator
Commentary legend Dave Higson was the voice of a golden era at Bolton Wanderers.
He was best known for his catchphrase “a ding, dong do” and was much-loved by players such as John McGinlay, Andy Walker and Jason McAteer.
Sam Allardyce- Football player and manager
First serving as a player, Sam Allardyce was the manager of Bolton Wanderers for eight years.
From taking over in 1999 'Big Sam' took the club out of Division One and went as far as the UEFA Cup in 2005/06.
Lesley Allon- Football league secretary
Lesley Allon spent 30 years contributing to both the junior football league and Horwich St Mary's Junior Football Club, alongside her husband Tom.
Together the pair have ensured the success of both the league and the club over an extended period. Their son Chris is also pictured on the Spirit of Sport.
Amir Khan- Boxer
Former unified light-welterweight world champion Amir Khan burst onto the scene aged 17 to become Britain's youngest boxing Olympic medallist.
The 32-year-old is also one of the youngest ever British professional world champions, winning the WBA title at the age of 22.
Tom Lancashire- Runner
Olympian Tom Lancashire represented Great Britain at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
The middle-distance star attended Turton School, in Bromley Cross, and took part in a variety of sports in his youth, including football, swimming, cricket, ice hockey and snowboarding.
Nat Lofthouse- Footballer
Widely regarded as Bolton Wanderers' greatest ever player, Nat Lofthouse spent 14 years at the club and scored 255 goals.
He was nicknamed the 'Lion of Vienna' for his battling performance for England against Austria in 1952 and scored both goals in the final when the Whites won the FA Cup in 1958.
