Interesting to know who you folks grew up idolising

(or indeed are still growing up idolising) XD

I'd have to pick The Undertaker from retro WWF - always did love the whole deadman thing. With the grey boot covers, grey gloves, purple smoke and hat

Captain Han Solo. Smart, shoots first (before Lucas ruined that whole scene), breaks the law but has morals, plus he has a cool spaceship.

I use to idolise comic characters

The Silver surfer was my favourite and Sgt Rock came a close 2nd.

Ed Beach, Mush Morton, Sam Dealey, George Blanda, Robert E. Howard, and Manfred von Richthofen.

Off the top of my 46 year old head: Bart Starr, Carl Yastrzemski, Adophus W. Greeley and Neil Armstrong.

Han solo and a Hero? Are you Crazy?!

Luke is in fact an insane Dictator who has been manipulatet by the Sneaky old Bastard Obi-Wan, Chewie is a Stormtrooper Eating Monster, and Han Solo a Killer. Yoda is in fact not Really Yoda, but a Funny Little Drug addict.

But i believed in the whole Star Wars story as i was jung too...my whole life...a lie!

By now i really wish myself i never Read it...

[On Topic]

My Childhood Hero? Hmmm. Luke.

Captain Courageous of the mighty Dons. It seems that every team has a hitman assigned to him. Hirdy truly is an eyes only for the ball footballer.
