Who were you on the playground?

[CielosGrises]

Andy Gray, sorry.

And I've got no hair now either.

 

[MACCA75]

Zico.

Or Big Nev.

As a CB it was always Ratters.

When I would play up top, it was Latchford, cos all I ever did was score tap ins.

 

[blue to the bone]

Irish, plus he's related to me.
So Kevin Sheedy even though my left foot wasn't the best..
That been said neither was my right!

 

[Nymzee]

Hibbo

 

[BlueStevie35]

Shearer with a bigger build but I could only ever score on the deck, my heading was awful

 

[cooperman]

Tony Cottee

…as a youngster I idolised Alan’s Ball but as I got older watching my own son play, I would chase the ball when it went out of play and return it with a left foot blaster, always saying ‘Sheeedy’ under my breath.

Hibbo

…figures

 

[McMagicT]

Jimmy O'Neill early 50s, but with me being a goalie as well and my name being similar to his it was easy.

 

[arch stanton]

Stefan Rehn

 

[RufusCat]

Rodney Marsh

Quite simply, which player were you at break time in school footy matches?

I imagine most will be blues but let’s not be myopic about it, any player from any club is fine, even the odd red I suppose.

I was Neville Southall.

Joe Parkinson...my idol to this day

 

[maccavennie]

Neville Southall.

There was literally nothing more fun as a young lad than hurling yourself about, flying in the air, diving in mud, diving on tarmac, diving on my bed to practice.

Oh macca, you could have been someone, you could have been a contender, you could have been a champion....if you'd been any good at it.

Top thread.... Bob Latchford.
