When I was really young I remember running around my grandad's garden pretending to be Daley Thompson, he was probably my first hero, in the summer of 84.

Davy Crockett.....
Born on a mountain top in Tennessee,
Greenest state in the land of the free.
Raised in the woods so's he knew every tree,
Killed him a bear when he was only three.
Davy, Davy Crockett King of the Wild Frontier.
Fought single handed through the Injun war,
Till the Creeks was whipped and peace was restored.
And while he was handling this risky chore,
Made himself a legend, forevermore
There wasn't much to get excited about in 50's post war austerity England, so i suppose it was the start of the creeping Americanisation of our culture.
Although Richard Green as Robin Hood came a bit later, but men in tights ......pah.
Football wise......Ernie Hunt, best footballers walk and hairstyle ever.

Never really had a 'hero' as such.
Although you can't go past Freddie and Ian Harvey for sheer legendary status in my eyes.

My sons middle name is Nestor after Nestor Lorenzo, and I have already cleared it with my wife that if we are lucky enough to have a second child and it's male again his middle name will be Taylor after the legend ooh Shaun Taylor

Sid vicious for me. It's only a few years later I realised he was a talentless, spotty, violent junkie. Had a goog look though.

Jay Silverheels and Clayton Moore as Tonto and the Lone Ranger, in sport the great Jimmy Greaves and Don Rogers, but for me as a youngster with my dear old dad we loved Cricket and my all time cricket hero was the great Colin 'Ollie' Milburn a mountain of a man who would rather smash the ball to the boundary than run. Spent many summer afternoons at Northampton watching him and could have cried the day I heard he had a car accident and lost the sight of one eye and was partially sighted in another. Reading his batting averages does not tell the full story of what a player he was as they were lowered considerably by him trying to play on for two years with hardly any eyesight!

Was always Kevin Keegan for me....
Before I knew better, and my Mum took me to my first Town game that I remember (aged 9), she used to send me to bed at normal time, then wake me up for the midweek European nights highlights at 10.30 so I could watch Liverpool
Mind you after the first Town game (Home to Swansea - lost 1-0 in front of almost 17,000) I was completely hooked - never interested in watching anyone else since.....
