Amokachi. For no reason whatsoever. I constantly picked him for my fantasy football team even though at the back of my mind I knew he wasn't good enough.

.....football hero undoubtably Alan Ball, nobody has come near to him in my 58 years on the planet.

Sheedy for me. Never forget his free kick at villa park as I was about to leave with my dad.

Kevin Sheedy.

Probably because I was left footed, plus he was [Poor language removed] unbelievable.

Brian Labone.

Outside football, John Pilger and Ken Loach.

Has to be Joe Royle why because he proved all the doubters wrong the stick he got on the terraces was unbelievable - Then became a very good Manager for us ! Best player though has to be Bally, I saw George Best play once he was special too!

My Grandad would testify to those saying Alan Ball too, Brian Labone was also a hero of his, My Everton hero would have to be Duncan Ferguson, he showed the fight we all craved for in the dark days. Outside of Everton it would have to be Zinedine Zidane - Pure Class.

......I remember watching a Lancashire League game at Bellefield v Blackburn. Sheedy was Blackburn coach on the far side of the pitch opposite those watching. Andy Hinchcliffe was watching and quite a few were after autographs, little Eggs was a kid in those days and I told him that Hinchcliffe couldn't lace Sheedy's boots. On the final whistle he bolted across the pitch to get Sheedy's autograph. He was a fine player and your judgement is correct.
