Who was your childhood football hero?

[Drew a swallow]

Mine was Pat Nevin. Genius winger, great taste in music. He once told me a tale about him and Whiteside in a car with Mozz.

Eric Cantona, met him quite alot, got my picture with him, aswell, fond memories.

Also there's a nice picture of Morrissey sporting an Eric top, although i've heard Eric refused to shake his hand..

Roy Race.

Charles Woodson, the 1997 Heisman Trophy winner. He's from my hometown, and i got to meet him awhile back. Very nice man.

And as far as "futbol" is concerned, i'd have to go with...hmmm...Tony Meola. I was an all-league keeper for several years as a lad, and i loved watching him.

Tony Mowbray 'Mogga'

Hristo Stoichkov and Pep Guardiola

The mighty Steve Flack. Check out this goal and celebration after 1:13. The cap-in-hand celebration is because the Exeter players hadn't been paid for some months.

My current hero though is not a player, but a manager: Paul Tisdale.

When he came to Exeter City 3 years ago we'd had 3 promotions in 102 years and had never played at Wembley. Now we've had 5 promotions in 105 years and 2 visits to Wembley!
