Your Heroes

bibblebibble
edited September 2009 in Not Sports Related
As a kid we all had heroes who we wanted to be, list them here and show your age!!

I wanted to be Barry Sheene or Paddy Powell, not fussy which one!!!

BTW Sheene told me to P!ss Off when I met him at Brands Hatch, that impressed the hell out of me. He had just finished practise and his bird lit him a fag, we were hanging around his caravan (no motorhomes in those days), he pulls up on his bike, I got his autograph and asked him if I could have his crash helmet, thats when he told me to do one, he said it with his cheeky cockernee smile on his face and everyone laughed, brilliant, and he wore Brut aftershave!!!!

    Eddie Firmani when he returned from Italy in 1963, and Georgie Fame after I first saw him play live with the Blue Flames at the Black Prince in '65.

    Mist, my dad saw Hendrix play at the Black Prince in the mid sixties, I remember him coming home and saying he saw this unbelivable black guitar player who played 1 song with his teeth, my mum said he'd had 1 pint too many of 'Abbots Scrote'.

    I mentioned Stuart Leary earlier....Quite simply the BEST player ever to have played for Charlton and also played cricket for Kent!
    What more could you ask for?

    Footballer would have to be Peter Osgood. Class.

    Muhamed Ali from outside football. I was always in awe if him. "Frazier is so ugly that he should donate his face to the US Bureau of Wild Life."

    Good shout Len.

    I remember that season when Cliff Holton came to our rescue.
    I remember him as such a charismatic, larger than life character who seemed to single-handedly lift the rest of the team.
    I have one enduring memory of him one-on-one dribbling round the goalie and slotting home.
    A class act; I was really disappointed that he left as soon as he'd arrived.

    My football heroes have almost always been strikers ; Denis Law, Eddie Firmani, Ray Treacy, King Arthur, Killer, Flash, Walshie, Simonsen, Jimmy Melrose etc etc.

    John Snow was my cricketing idol; and as a lad caused me to "support" Sussex intead of my home county, Kent!!!
    A real rebel.
    "So who's the King of the Castle,
    Now I'm the dirty rascal....."
    Remember his poem, "On being dropped"?
