Who was your hero growing up?

[dholliday]

outside Everton, George Best.

outside Everton: Lothar Matthäus.

Don't kill me but Bryan Robson

For Everton Kevin Ratcliffe

That like is for Ratcliffe, by the way we don't see much mention of our most successful captain ever round here, funnily enough.

Same. Southall came before Everton funnily enough. I idolised Nev as a kid, and then Everton naturally followed.

Aye...Cottee might've been my childhood hero and I still respect his contribution a lot, but Big Nev is my favourite player of all time. He was the key that made us great.

That's why we need to sign an absolute Top Top goalie this summer.

Big Dunc as a kid

Was very fond of Cahill loved when he would score a header

Graeme Sharp was the player I always wanted to be when having a knock a about with my mates as kid.

Who am I kidding though. I was in awe of the greatest player I've ever seen, Diego Maradona. He was my real hero growing up.

 

[Nymzee]

Everton players as I was growing up? I'd say Arteta or Gravesen strangely enough.

In general though was Kaka for sure.

Yeh I was that big man.

Lads I met Bruce at the weekend and he asked if I played Rugby because I was 'chunky' Cheers fella ;-)

 

[tommye]

You'd be like Jonah Lomu storming down the wing

more Joanna Lumley me thinks...

 

[Jayhow15]

Sheedy, Sharp and Lineker - that order.

I was in awe of the greatest player I've ever seen, Diego Maradona. He was my real hero growing up.

That like is for Maradona...Greatest Ever. After him I'd probably go Zidane then Messi. I genuinely believe had Rooney stayed with us he would've developed into a real one-of-a-kind flair, a massive hero for all generation of fan. Not Messi level perhaps, but someone like a George Best with bags of insane skills to cherish forever.

Tho' can't argue with the career the lad has had since Ferguson drilled that same workmanlike ethic into him he did with Giggs (iron out unpredictable flair, add consistent workrate).

 

[ElPorto]

Michelangelo because I loved pizza.

My true love was Raphael but as he was a red he got swerved.

 

[tommye]

Dave Thomas then Paul Bracewell

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Andy King purely for "that" goal,outside EFC,Ali.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I always liked Tommy Grav

 

[tommye]

I always liked Tommye

 

[Billy Dean]

Gary Lineker and Adrian Heath
