In the game of Squash a legend every player knows is Jahangir Khan from Pakistan.
He never lost a match from 1981 to 1986.
Ross Norman beat Jahangir Khan in 1986 World Championship and he retired in 1993.
His record stands at 555 matches without a loss.
Rod Glimour, co-author of 'Jahangir Khan: 555' says that it "could be lower".
However ex-Champion Jahangir Khan, 52, said "could be more".
"The 555 figure should be my tournament matches. I played invitational, exhibition and challenge matches.".
"It could be between 600 and 700 matches if you include the others. Because I wasn't losing those either.".
Well less or more he is still a living legend and the best to ever play the game.
Someone who came close was Jansher Khan.
