[Misc] When your former heroes let you down.

[Tokyohands]

Morrissey is the one for me..

What a hideous descent from the majesty of the Smiths, to the ******** he is today.

To be fair, I was a little boy through the 80s and always then thought he was a whining ****.

 

[Lenny Rider]

I met Alex Higgins in the mid 80s in Manchester, allbeit drunk, him not me, and he was a real nause.

As a parent of 2 kids under 5, I watched election night in 1997 and thought in Tony Blair here was a person who could change my family’s life and that of the whole nation for the better.

Now I will remember him for taking this country into an illegal war and sending a lot of our servicemen and servicewomen to their unnecessary and needless deaths.

 

[Weststander]

Lance Armstrong. He was one of my sporting heroes, I loved the way he defeated Indurain, Riis, Ullrich, Virenque, Pantani, Basso. Incredible day stages in the Pyrenees and The Alps.

Refusing to listen to the investigative journalist David Walsh. Eventually the weight of evidence was obvious.

[The aforementioned others were all systematic doping cheats too, either proven or their teams/doctors were embroiled in scandals. The earlier riders getting away with weak testing protocols].

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Over the years since he played, people write that he should’ve been the first name on the England team sheet, winning 50 to 100 caps.

I’m not sure that he was that good.

My daughter used to play for Saints girls and once or twice she got free tickets for matches. I was lucky enough to see him score a couple of wonder goals. He was enormously talented...... and I am NOT a Saints fan.

 

[marlowe]

I was so disappointed when I saw how he'd let himself go, especially his dress sense....

 

[scamander]

Le Tissier is an interesting one, I remember his spat with Carlton Palmer (I think?) where he berated his lack of caps. The thing is Le Tissier was ignored by Hoddle who wasn't averse to a creative style of play. Obviously something going on there.

Went to look after an ex Zimbabwean Farmer who had passed away in Worthing, they had a beautiful oil painting of their farm on the wall, and showed me the exact road Mugabe's men drove up and threw them off the property after 3 generations.

Nothing short of disgraceful what successive UK Governments let happen in that country.

What did Alex "Hurricane" Higgins do to those farmers?!

I mean, he was an arse (lived near Bruntwood Park in Cheshire and frequently drank in/got barred from all the pubs in Gatley, Cheadle, Bramhall, Cheadle Hulme, Woodford, etc etc) but his involvement in international land reparations?!

Le Tissier was 32 years old when Gerrard made his England debut!

Not wanting to derail the thread, but Zimbabwe gained independence in 1980, so Britain had no influence.

yes , my wife has one that was painted by her great grandfather .......worst thing rhodesia did was cultivate a currency that ran roughshod all over the pound , the breadbasket of Africa is now a basket case , Mugabe's family are sitting on a fortune in their swiss bank accounts and probably still jollying it up all over the globe without a care .......Wilson and Callaghan shafted the country , Blair shafted the people.

you''re clueless ....again. Wilson brought Mugabe over to the UK and had him educated , then sent him back to do the deed.......ffs , i don't know why i even engage with you ...

Anthony Charles Lynton Blair served as pm for 10 years from 97 t0 07 ........he eluded in a big way that farmers would be compensated for their land , this never happened and on Easter Sunday 2001 war vets with the aid of Mugabe bussed 10's of thousands of "war vets" all over the country to take back farms where the white farmers hadn't left .... i was there , i saw it .....are you going to tell me i'm wrong again.?

i know you're a lot smarter than to think that Higgins had a hand in the collapse of a major Southern African entity .......he was a brilliant ball player who drank himself to death , Tony Blair on the other hand was a fake socialist millionaire **** who ruined millions of peoples lives , the repercussions of his jizz fest with Bush junior and senior are still being felt around the world but most ironically by those on a little island in Western Europe , an island that has been mooted as the promised land .....enjoy your cous cous....
