Who did you want to be ?

[BirkenheadBlue]

Tony Cottee

 

[msb]

Too many to relate. I guess Bob Latchford was probably the most - but I have always been rubbish at footie anyway.

 

[Jt2105]

Kevin Sheedy

 

[TheGeeseofGoodisonRoad]

tim cahill (to make everyone here feel old)

both small and good in the air. also i have aussie citizenship and he's part irish (i think?) so it made a lot of sense

baines also because i played left back

 

[Vic Flange]

Andy King, volleys & sweat bands

 

[Bullinasia]

Always little Alan Ball. Used pleas, tears, tantrums and everything else to persuade my Mum to buy me the famous white boots, as soon as they are out and continued wearing them even when they started to fall to bits from constant use!

 

[Diogenes the Cynic]

Kanchelskis. I even used to try and alter my whole running technique to run like him.

I failed but at least i got the crossing myself after goals technique down. Although I'm not a Christian so i didn't even get that right.

 

[degsy]

If i made a save , I was George Wood . A goal was Bob Latchford. A successful nutmeg made me Duncan Mckensie

This
aka, anybody in a blue shirt.
In reality I was a mixture of Brian Harris, Denis Stevens, Carsley and Gueye - play anywhere, run for miles and kick people, give the ball to somebody who could actually play...yer basic managers dream...
But all I wanted to do was score goals and had delusions of being a Tim Cahill (before we even had him) so a tendency to go walkabout...yer basic managers nightmare

 

[Bishop Thumpety-Thump]

Sheedy when I was a kid, I'm left footed so always got shoved out to left mid. Then as I got older, slower and fatter I reinvented myself as an Unsworth-esque centre back. Though without the ability to take a boss penno.

 

[Vintage]

Big Dunc and Kanchelskis even though I couldnt head a ball nor could I run

 

[Eggs]

....don’t recall wanting to be anybody, but Alan Ball was and still is the greatest. Loved him.

 

[zzr45]

I like to pretend I’m Kieran Dowell and have a leisurely stroll while a game goes on around me, oblivious to anything going on.

It helps to block out the noise of the teachers screaming at me to get out of the playground or they’ll call the police.

 

[Hibbo]

Tony Hibbert

 

[GwladysBlue]

Duncan Ferguson

 

[Sinski]

I wanted to be Ferguson he left that season. Wanted to be Jeffers he left that season. Wanted to be Rooney he left that season.

I stopped doing that.

Now I know why you are Death.
