Your Sporting Hero

[ijjysmith]

I'm not even joking:

He really is my (non football) hero.

 

[Alio]

I thought yours may have been a skateboarder?

Tony would be up there. He is a proper legend.

Read his book. He's pretty much living the life I want!

Bucky Lasek and Kareem Campbell also ace.

Can't stand Bam Margera though. He's a massive tw*t.

Seoul, Barcalona, and WC 98 were the international sporting events that most imprinted on my memory - Just a little too young to have fully appreciated Italia 90, even though Seoul was 88. Odd.

Marvelous Marvin Hagler, unrelenting

 

[Royal]

Weir & Stubbs when I was about 8 or 9. Mainly because I was rubbish at footy and in school I always played centre half as a result of that. Therefore I watched them and pretended to be them a lot.

I also had a soft spot for Teddy Sheringham I think, but that was probably just the name Teddy.

Mine was Jackie Chan while I was growing up.



Don't judge me!

Broski

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Bruce Wayne.

Rode 180 km up mountains and posts on GOT.

Close the fcukin thread

Well worth keeping in mind.

Non football ones are Lance Armstrong, Jose Bautista, Mark Cavendish and Ronnie O'Sullivan.

 

[Elong]

Eric Cantona (not for the kung fu lessons)

Glenn McGrath (amazing career, most accurate bowler there's been and the reason I started fast bowling, not to mention his charity work)

Muhammad Ali (for obvious reasons)
