[Beeercan]

[NMH]

Now that I'm close to 50, whenever I'm in the playground and I'm about to score I shout "FRED BINNEY....!"

 

[ManxSeagull]

Trevor Francis

 

[sams dad]

Bobby Smith

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Trevor Francis for me as well - lived in Brum when I was very young and my Dad's a Bluenose. Saw Francis make his debut - he must have been 16 or 17. Played up front with Bob Latchford with Gordon Taylor (PFA) on the wing.

I didn't play much football, but my hero was Peter Ward.

I have never aspired in my dreams to play for any other team than Brighton.

It isn't an argument to say there wasn't the draw of the Premiership back then.

All the kids at school seemed to support Liverpool, but my dad had the intelligence and hindsight to take me and my brother to the Goldstone.

There was never any sense of feeling jealous of the other teams success. For me and my brother it was Brighton, and it was the Bukta strip that we wore for football lessons.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

As a kid I was a Norwich fan as I liked the colour of the kit. I was always Martin O'Neill

 

[John Byrnes Mullet]

Michael Robinson my hero and scored over 20 goal that season and he had a Rolls Royce Corniche convertable.

 

[Jesus Gul]

Zico or Karl Heinz Rumenigge

 

[SussexSpur]

Lee Sharpe i'm afraid

His autobiography is getting some good reviews - saw a few of the serialisation extracts - looks worth reading as an alternative to the usual anodyne 'life stories'.

Jimmy Greaves

 

[A Melbourne Albion Supporter]

Ian Rush

Neville Southall, and I'm not fat or welsh.

[Deportivo Seagull]

I always wanted to be either Rivalino or Charlton but ended up being Carlos alberto .... because my first name is Carlos.

 

[SJ's Love Monkey]

Dave Swindlehurst!

 

[eastlondonseagull]

Kenny Dalglish.

Then when I saw the light and turned blue and white I was either Mike Robinson or Gary Stevens.
