Sports: Who are your sporting hero's?

[l3thall3g3nd]

Simple question really who are your sporting hero's? People who you idolised as a kid or maybe still do. Mine would be Dennis Bergkamp the flying dutchman, was was favourite player for arsenal growing up was a world class player and in my life time was proberly the best number 10 around, his vision was second to none and even when he got older and didn't get as many goals as he used to he still was a critical part of our invincible team with his assists and general play for the team.

Who's your sporting hero?

Baseball man are you maik, quite weird that you have so many baseball players from other teams, people who are football fans wouldn't do that unless they played for there club or country, they would admit what a class act they were but wouldn't class them as a sporting hero.

Who's your sporting hero?

It's good to see a fellow Arsenal and Bergkamp fan on here. He was amazing at Arsenal, that goal he scored against Newcastle where he took it down, spun around a defender and placed it past the goalkeeper was just pure brilliance.

Thierry Henry is also another hero of mine. He was the best striker in the world in his prime and he was unstoppable. Scored important goals against Barcelona, Real Madrid, Inter and AC Milan, Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool...just about every top class team.
