Did a hero of yours ever fall from grace in your eyes, and why?

[Prince Monolulu]

Faced the Daleks, been in the Tradis, Val and a Fall gig. A dark horse to say the least.

Before everyone realised he was a category one PILLOCK we bumped into Monty Panesar in Brighton on a night out.

Now, sure, we had a few bevvies and he was probably keen to just have a night out but....

We had just bumped into Liam Bridcutt, Ashley Barnes and few other Brighton players who were MORE than happy to join in with our group photo. Again I'm sure they thought we were idiots but at least they played along.

My mate then politely approaches Monty and says what a big fan he is and whether we could have a photo.

"**** off" was his response. Completely unnecessary.

One month later he pissed on a bouncer

He went up in my estimation after that.

Jimmy White.

Been lucky enough to meet him twice and he's such a nice person but when his autobiography came out and revealed that cocaine ruined his chances of ever winning the World Championship I was saddened. He could have won it multiple times.

And don't get me STARTED on the time Jimmy Savile hand-picked me out of the TOTP audience to appear on stage with him...

 

[SK1NT]

Tiger Woods for me... A legend of a sporting figure turned into a sleezy bag of shite

And how dashing you looked too

Viv Richards. Supremely talented cricketer but when I saw him contemptuously wave away a youngster who had asked - very politely - for his autograph, I went right off him. Maybe his piles were playing him up.

Very unusual in my experience for a professional cricketer to behave that way.

I saw Harry Hill completely blank a group of people that wanted pics and autographs once.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

That's what Jimmy said

 

[The Brighton Bear]

Tiger Woods for sure. He was an absolute LEGEND to me until......................

Bono. Started off as a creative and articulate band leader, ended up as some sort of up-his-own-arse preacher come world changer.

Definitely. Some sort of warped wealth/guilt thing going on there. But not enough to stop dodging taxes or making a fortune from Facebook obviously.

I actually used to enjoy Stuart Hall and his verbose match analysis on 5 Live each Saturday. Wonder if he still makes such eloquent ejaculations nowadays.

Before him, there was Ted Dexter, who commonly behaved like that.

Also I've never quite forgiven Eddie Izzard for sneering at me once in an Edinburgh pizzeria, when all I did was congratulate him on the show he'd just given in the theatre over the road as he walked past my table.

But you can't stay mad for long at someone who invented Mrs. Badcrumble

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

I was well into Morrissey but that diminished the more and more I found out about him

I really like Alan Partridge until we were at a restaurant for my mother's 70th birthday. We took a couple of family photos and Coogan jumped up from a balcony table and hurled abuse at us for taking photos of him. We didn't know he was there until that point. Shame he can be a dick, when he has so much talent.
