Favorite Sports Person?

[Val]

Currently, my favourite sports person is Dan Carter. Seems like. Real nice bloke and a smashing player too. Seen him at close quarters in Paris when I was over, he came into the bar afterwards chatting to a few fans after his interviews.

My first football hero was King Kenny followed by Johnny Doyle, also loved Glen Hoddle as a kid. Now there has been too many Celtic greats since to mention any as a favourite.

Never was much of a boxing man so never had any affiliation to any. Used to watch athletics with my favourite runner being Steve Cram and who didn't like Daley Thomson?

Saw Hoddle play a pre season friendly at Fulham and he literally stood just in front of the D of his penalty box and sprayed forty yard passes for fun. Sublime to stand on the terrace to watch

if you're picking Celtic players, Bobby Murdoch. He came to Middlesbrough in his twilight years. Stunning! He returned for Jim Platt's testimonial, as did Craig Johnston from Liverpool. He turned Johnson inside out and made him look like a beginner....

A bit before my time Bobby Murdoch but by all accounts he was a smashing player

If you are talking about being before your time then my inclusion of Bertie Auld will have passed you by.

I've watching several George Best programmes, the latest one the other night on Sky. Just from those clips, you could tell how special he was; his body movement, balance, ball control, even beckoning opposition to get the ball off him. That lobbed goal v Spurs is just unbelievable and something you wouldn't see from Messi, etc. Also that goal he scored in America...stuff you only see in the playground.

I managed to see him live once, right at the end of his career at Bournemouth. I would loved to have seen him in this pomp.

Didn't see your post but yes another smashing player I believe.

Both forever Celtic legends

Bertie managed to ba legend at two clubs but I must admit Lisbon trumped winning the League Cup in '63, although it was the Villa that we beat in the final.

Saw him at Fulham with Marsh and even then without ever really trying you could see what he would have been like in his prime
