No contest if you are old enough. Tommy Hutchison.

George Hudson.

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?

PS, forgive the typo, don’t know how to edit!

Typo……. did you mean to say fathered 2/3 of Coventry.

 

[eyesee]

Wallace and Ferguson.
I spent my 8th birthday in hospital and had a visit from Mick Ferguson. He even signed his picture in the history of CCFC book that I got from my mum and dad.
I think about getting Ian Wallace to sign the same picture (they are both in the picture) every legends day but at 54 don't want to look like a gimp taking a book to the match

Do it

do it.
you owe it to your 8yo self.

Colin Bell Man City. When I started watching Coventry City regularly Dennis Mortimer and not far behind Tommy Hutchison and Willie Carr.

 

[Shannerz]

Speedie. Kevin Gallacher.

Robbie Keane

Oggy. I played in goal, got the goalkeeper kit every year and had to listen to my parents moan about how many much it cost to get his name on the back of it. I’ve met him a few times since and have nothing but good things to say about him. What a guy.

Ysrael Zuniga a close second.

 

[Tile Hill Phil]

Graham Oakey because I played RB in the school team, so I wanted to be him. Grew my hair was really upset when I was dragged to the barbers.

He was a great fullback very under. Did he get a bad injury that finished his career

 

[skybluecb]

David Speedie he scored some brilliant goals, anyone remember his chip at Norwich sublime

 

[Ccfcisparks]

in all seriousness mine was Mifsud

 

[LastGarrison]

Another one for the Gallacher and Ndlovu fan club.

Remember cutting their pictures out of the Telegraph and Pink and sticking them on my wall.

 

[Ashdown]

Its an age thing obviously and somehow those memories when you are young are the sweetest…..The magical early days for me were Wallace and Ferguson, Steve Hunt, Tommy Hutchison and Bobby Mcdonald. Special mention to Peter Lorimer who we always wanted to emulate as kids…..because reputedly he had the hardest shot in football

 

[DazzleTommyDazzle]

As a kid, it was Neil Martin and Ernie Hunt.

 

[baldy]

Gallacher,Livingstone (briefly) & Micky Quinn

 

[baldy]

I think you know I meant the other one....right?

Was gonna say,surely he's heard of Borrows...surely

 

[Skybluecol]

Marco van Basten.......was so obsessed with him and AC Milan in the earlier 90s when I was 10-11 years old. I bought the 1992 AC Milan top out of my pocket money that I saved for over a year and then refused to wear it for fear of getting it ruined...it's still in my wardrobe in pristine condition can't wait until it will fit my lad and is used as it should have been!!

We'd all think and want to do the same....do it mate

 

[Paul Anthony]

As a young City fan, Dublin. The man seemed on a personal mission to keep us in the top flight at times.

Outside of football, Kimi Raikkonen.

 

[Frankly_Mr_Shankly]

Regis and Speedie

 

[SkyBlueSam01]

Robbie Keane when I was about 4

Then Clingan, Keogh, Gunnarsson, Turner once I was old enough to know what was going on... Tough years...

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Tommy H/Colin S/ Mick C

 

[Sick Boy]

I also (and can bet I'm not the only one on here that can say this) at the age of 10 really wanted dreadlocks because of a certain USA midfielder. I was of course told no by my parents. But how many on here wanted dreadlocks in their early years like me?

Hahaha, yes! I had curtains at the time and got a no guard undercut and resorted to using loads of wet look gel to do them.

 

[spwaverley4916]

Ernie Machin

 

[Flying Fokker]

Clarrie Bourton, though I was only 3 at the time, so don't remember much

Do you need to sit down?

 

[skybluelee]

Joke go over your head, mate?

ps he spelt Gallacher wrong. I'm too good for this forum, I shouldn't have to explain my gags.

 

[SwanLane]

Regis, Borrows, McGrath and later Gallacher (in mourning for about a week when he joined Blackburn).

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Pretty obvious who mine was and to have him replaced by a broken Alan Brazil didn’t help my mood when he left.

David Smith in the early 90's

I did something similar, though it was to try to get a Peter Andre hairstyle. Not sure I should be admitting that...

Mick Ferguson .

Was always him while my mate Brian Cox (no not that one) Was Jim Blythe playing in his back garden or the garages in Earlsdon -mid 70’s.

Brilliant to have a best mate who wanted to be a keeper!
