Heroes then and Now
Ok, really bored & hungover so can't be arsed to go out, so I thought I'd start a stupid thread.
Now I was thinking about sportsman who you Idolized when you first started getting into sports, and ones nowadays who you probably just tolerate more than the other ****s. Well you do if your as jaded and miserable as me. So my lists for various sports: Then Mike Gatting, nowadays hmm, probably Stuart Broad or Jos. Then Nick Faldo, now Alvaro Quiros Then Dusty Hare, now n/a Then John Watson, now n/a Then Tony Kellow, now really tricky one, was Ryan Harley when he was with us, always liked Joe Cole, but now he should retire, umm, probably Super Mario for the lolz. Athletics Then, to my eternal shame Coe, I didn't know he was a ****ing Tory did I, Now, lovely, lovely Jessica, did I mention she was lovely.  Then Super brat, nowadays really struggling, such dour *****, I miss tantrums, probably Petko or Heather Watson. Obviously there is no League player, as I'm not Northern.

Cricket: Then, Waqar Younis. Now, Kumar Sangakkara - if I can only name one.
Football: Then, Thierry Henry. Now, Arjen Robben (Don't really follow it - These two are the ones that have stood out form an illiterate perspective to be extremely skillfull. Particularly Robben)
