Who was your first footballing hero?

[hbk4894]

When you were growing up which players did you like

For me it was either jay jay okocha or Stelios

:hesk:

 

[JJH]

You're my hero.

 

[johnnytodd]

Big Bob Latchford what a player

 

[Skinner]

Shearer from the age of 5 up until I was about 8, then it was R9 Ronaldo.

 

[HertsWolf]

Has to be Jake Livermore, now scoring for fun with Hull. My mate snorted when he heard he was my hero, but I said that Livermore was not to be sniffed at.

 

[Libertadores FC]

I don't know about football, but my first forum hero was Wheeyyyyyyyyyy, say you're familiar with him aren't you?

 

[Skinner]

And there was me being genuine

c***

 

[Stevencc]

For me I have to say that it has always been Paul "better than Stevie Me" Scholes. A true great.

 

[Humongous Fungus]

Gareth Southgate was mine :/ because I never got to watch football when I was a kid until Euro 96 and he represented Villa... He followed it up with some great Pizza adverts.

 

[Smally]

Duncan Ferguson for me. The man could win games on his own when in the mood

 

[silkyman]

Steve Farrelly and Phil Power

 

[HarvSFC]

Got into football in 2002. The 2002 World Cup was the first football I properly watched and I went around telling everyone that I was an England fan and that I didn't support anyone else. So my first hero was Michael Owen and that moved onto Thierry Henry when I got into football properly when I was 10 in 2004.

 

[claret50]

Stanley Matthews.

 

[Relentless]

Zola

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Sylvester Stallone, the best goalkeeper this world has ever seen.

 

[nousername]

My first footballing crush? Ian Walker probably.

 

[ArmchairDiehard]

Eric Cantona for me, as my dad is a United fan so I obviously grew up watching him on the telly.

 

[BlueBee]

Gary Breen

 

[NiallQuinnDiscoPants]

got to be Roy Wegerle

 

[Christian Slater]

Schmeichel.

 

[G.B]

Peter Devine

 

[SALTIRE]

Gordon Strachan, the ginger Messi

 

[Stevencc]

Gordon Strachan, the ginger Messi

Did it kill you when he went to United?

 

[SALTIRE]

Did it kill you when he went to United?

I wasn't in to football back then so much but my mate started supporting Man Utd arounf that time and I always did the reverse of what he did so thats how I found Liverpool, and they had a big Scottish connection too, so that was it.

 

[Anon]

Either Kevin Keen or Mark Robson. Had some great wide play in the 1992/3 promotion season.

 

[G-Dragon]

Gabriel Batistuta and Michael Owen

 

[SALTIRE]

Gabriel Batistuta and Michael Owen

Batigol was brilliant wasn't he, what a player.

 

[Jarv]

Bryan Robson for me. When people talk about great players he's massively underrated
