I've got loads but i'd say my ultimate one when i look back on their career and the moments i loved the most i'd say Gazza, massive part of the 9 in a row era and THAT goal he scored for England against Scotland and not to mention the famous 1-2 with him and Ally for the goal against Celtic and the complete perfect performance against Aberdeen

Liverpool fan, so predictably Steven Gerrard.

Rafa Benitez too. I was way more into football during his period at Liverpool. Legendary manager.

I was a huge Andy Roddick fan for a while. I loved Michael Phelps too.

Eric Djemba - Djemba

So good, they named him twice.

Seriously though, when I was kid, David Beckham. Nowadays, if I had to pick one, probably go Paul Scholes.

not sure on heroes but Lleyton Hewitt was the first tennis player i ever watched as a kid and resulted in me loving the sport and i still enjoy seeing him now. Same with Paul Scholes, he was the first player i liked as a kid and i used to pretend i was him when playing football in primary school and i had a few shirts with his name on.

It's funny really, I've only got into sport in the last 18 or so months. So I don't have like a 'hero' I just like support people who are around today.
