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.....

Did you know that Kevin Keegan had a trial with Swindon before he signed for Scunthorpe - rejected for being too small

(My brother was on Swindon's books at the time, so that's how I know it's true)

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.

Daley for me too, my Mum was mortified by me shouting out "look Mum it's Daley Thompson!" as a random black man ran past us, i was only about 5!

Ayrton Senna, loved watching him race when I was a nipper, sat with my dad or making a track out of lego for my matchbox cars. Vividly remember watching the race at Imola '94, and watching all the footage that followed. Horrible.
