Ruby Walsh, arguably Tony McCoy's rival to the tag of greatest jumps rider ever, paid tribute to his close friend following the news that the multiple champion jockey is to retire from racing at the end of the season.
Walsh has had many battles with McCoy down the years, with the pair dominating the National Hunt game.
He said: "The biggest decisions are the hardest decisions, and AP is the biggest man who had to do it."

Sire De Grugy came back unscathed with his rider Jamie Moore also none the worse for a departure at the third-last fence in the Betfair Price Rush Chase at Newbury.
The reigning Queen Mother Champion Chase winner had made a couple of uncharacteristic mistakes ahead of his exit in the race registered as the Game Spirit, at which point he was struggling to peg back the slowly-away Mr Mole, ridden by Tony McCoy.
