Yes. Footballers are given too much of a rough ride by the media IMO. They don't ask to be paid millions or have their personal lives in the spotlight.

People might point to Soldiers and rightly so, but footballers can inspire a generation. Sport is as important to the average man than anything else. It keeps you ticking

 

Not according to the definition of "hero" in the Encyclopedia Britanica. It would be stretching the imagination reach to conclusion.
Inspiring, uplifting , pampered, yes, Hero ?????
Not too many risk their lives to save anothers.
On the other hand Zola is my Hero !!!

 

'Hero'

For this I elect that ****ing knob head Anton Ferdinhand & his Twittering twat of a brother.

 

Yes--Bert Trautmann was one!

 

Well to me a hero is someone who is very brave - usually beyond the call of duty etc.

No way is a footballer a hero in my book.

@ District Line - I normally agree with most of your posts but I have to disagree re "they don't ask to be paid millions". They do and they are greedy *astards as well.

 

dont ask to be paid millions,what are you on about, of course they do

 

They did when it was offered to them. Players don't get 10k a week and then ask for 100k. The money gets thrown at them and then they demand more.

 

Anyhow my hero is Sol Campbell, always looked up to him

 

I don't know about heros, but they can become donkeys.

Look at Carroll and Suarez.

 

Can footballers become heroines ????
I can think of a couple.

 

Or Chimps like Bale?
