Title: Childhood Hero Post by: Elsterap on Sunday, February 6, 2005, 22:54:04 Who was your childhood Hero? Footballing or Non-Footballing.
Mine was Cantona, he was a mofo genius. Loved that advert where he took that penalty and it went through the keeper's stomach. Title: Childhood Hero Post by: strooood on Sunday, February 6, 2005, 23:26:45 bergkamp and wright

Jan Aage Fjortoft - I was a bit old for him to be a childhood hero but i still though he was great Title: Childhood Hero Post by: McLovin on Monday, February 7, 2005, 10:47:00 I was a massive Gazza fan because of Italia 90 and the fact i was a Spurs fan... wish i'd picked someone better, in hindsight...
Title: Childhood Hero Post by: janaage on Monday, February 7, 2005, 10:51:10 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.
Title: Childhood Hero Post by: Reg Smeeton on Monday, February 7, 2005, 11:20:35 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. Title: Childhood Hero Post by: OOH!

Title: Re: Childhood Hero Post by: Family at War on Saturday, April 21, 2012, 07:24:17 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!
Title: Re: Childhood Hero Post by: sheepshagger on Saturday, April 21, 2012, 07:32:32 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.....

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!

Title: Re: Childhood Hero Post by: Leggett on Saturday, April 21, 2012, 07:52:50 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.
