A decent test could be constructed to figure out popularity and knowledge. The people could be asked to name as many players as possible from current and former eras of various sports. As I read somewhere a while ago, it's quite possible that a lot of English youth will not be able to name players beyond Flintoff, Pietersen and Collingwood, if even that, but they'd have no trouble coming up with a squad of 20 for the national football team. Similarly, I'd say the average Englishmen would struggle to name sportsmen in all other sports.
