Who was you childhood hero? (3 Viewers)

[procdoc]

Mine was Peter Ndlovu. Loved the way he ran at players and scored some ridiculous goals.

Then as I got older I discovered that he fathered half of Coventry, so he was a top shagger as well as a top footballer.

Who were your childhood heroes?

[torchomatic]

Wally and Fergie.

 

[Mcbean]

Peter Bonetti - lived in London
And was a Chelsea supporter before coming to Coventry - he was rubbish in the Mexico World Cup I was gutted

 

[Chicken Mcgraw]

Matty Godden 🫶

 

[Viktor17]

Speedie/Gallacher

 

[Domo]

Dublin / Hadji

 

[Pezza]

Ndlovu but literally a year or 2 too young to really appreciate him in the early years, so I will say Noel Whelan, loved him.

 

[Hutch11]

Tommy obviously

 

[Potbellypig]

I thought I was Darren Huckerby in the school playground, so would say him. Scorer of my favourite Cov goal too.

 

[Marty]

Noel Whelan

 

[Macca1987]

Wholeheartedly agree with Tommy H

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Either Biamou or Beavon

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

Dennis Law as a child and Gary Thompson as a teenager. I briefly stop going to football because of the racist treatment that guy received, even off his own fans.

 

[theskyisthelimit]

Either Biamou or Beavon

Bloody hell Beavon....what a time to be a young ccfc fan

 

[theskyisthelimit]

I would say McSheffrey (1st Spell) Westwood or Fox

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Huckerby

 

[shmmeee]

Gallacher, Ndlovu, Whelan, Hamer

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Great question probably Oggy or Cyrille

 

[theskyisthelimit]

Gallacher, Ndlovu, Whelan, Hamer

Long childhood going from NdLovu all the way through to Hamer

 

[CCfC2023]

Cyrille / Bennett

 

[long way home]

Danny Thomas and Gary Gillespie

 

[shmmeee]

Long childhood going from NdLovu all the way through to Hamer

Hamer was the second childhood

 

[Sick Boy]

Mick Quinn.

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

Even though I supported City it was Jimmy Greaves. Favourite player at city as I got older was Gibbo.

 

[AJB1983]

First was probably David Speedie, then Kevin Gallacher.
Then Dublin, Huckerby and Boateng - had shirts with Dion and Boateng’s names on

 

[skybluejelly]

Originally for me it was Steve hunt , then Terry Gibson
