    Not worth it even for the "Metro" charging around in the dark during the RAC which was just brilliantly mental .
    Edit : mind you the 70's F1 was even worse <rose>

    thought it came later in the season in a warm country/ place Portugal Sardinia something like that .
    On F1 still remember years ago at Silverstone people taking scaffolding poles & planks and making themselves little viewing platforms <laugh>

    Red Rum, forgot about him <laugh>


    At least you remembered Ali...I feel ashamed forgetting him initially :(

    I did think of Pele, Eusebio and Moore, but chose to go for less well known people. Also not forgetting Bob Stokoe.

    Hansen and Gerrard, fook off <laugh>

    Never do anything with kids Hansen, and safe distancing, I slipped Gerrard.

    Ultimate Warrior should be top of your list.

    Well Liverpool players are bound to come into it and Gerrard was there for such a big part of my life and did so much. Hansen was such a great defender, effortless in what he did.

    Gerrard a hero? You just have been 25 when he started out.

    I was actually going to name one woman in my list, but I saw no point, as Willhoops wouldn't know who she was and she wasn't a 'hero' of mine.

    Perhaps Idol is a better word than hero?

    When you're a kid, hero is acceptable.
