Charlie George (scorer of great goals, but not a great goal scorer)
Liam Brady (Legend)
Michael Thomas ('Pool fans know why)
Lev Yashin (The Black Panther, The Octopus, Black Gloves, whatever you wanted to call him, it all meant a clean sheet for Russia/Dinamo).
Vyacheslav Tretiak (the benchmark for all (Russian) goaltenders)
To be honest those were all before my time, but looking through old articles, video and stories I admire them greatly, some of my sporting heroes now:
Tana Umaga (current Wellington/NZ rugby great)
Christian Cullen (former " " " " " " " " )
Thierry Henry (Frankly, the heart and soul of the team I watch at 3am on most Sunday mornings)
Andrei Shevchenko (I'm a 1/4 Ukranian myself, it's amazing what he has achieved, playing in a leauge that is notoriously difficult to score in)
Zenedine Zidane (The greatest footballer of the modern era, #2 all time behind Pele)
Stephen Fleming (The captain of the NZ cricket team, legend)
