Who was your childhood footballing idol?

[fuzzylogic]

I was thinking about this earlier, who did you pretend to be when you were playing football as a youngster?

For me it was davie Cooper, a wand of a left foot and sadly taken from us well before his time.

For Spurs - Nick Barmby (I was at school when he broke into the first team)

I can answer this one for you, @THFCSPURS19 - it's Harry Kane

Teddy.

First one was absolutely, 100%, no shadow of doubt, Jurgen Klinsmann.

Helped that I was 5 when he first signed for us and I watched a USA '94 summary show my dad had recorded and the season VHS of the '94-95 season literally hundreds of times.

 

[Partizan]

Del Piero

 

[Nine while nine]

In my eyes, I was Tony Galvin, a big, bustling unit haring down the wing, chipping in with the odd goal.

My team-mates agreed that I reminded them of a famous sporting figure, but rather than focus on the attributes above, they decided to concentrate on my poor stamina and dodgy balance.

So what did the ****s call me?

Devon Loch...

David Beckham.

I always knew you were a 15 year old Korean girl.

Teddy was my main one.

Outside of spurs I would have to say Pavel Nedved.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Stanley Matthews, he still is my No 1 football legend.

To be honest, Bruce Grobelaar.

Sorry I have my reasons
