    It's a pretty important 25% though.

    My sporting hero is Mikhail Tal.

    I also particularly admire Schumacher and Zidane.

    Tennis (getting into it over the last 12 months) - Lleyton Hewitt
    Darts- Phil Taylor (kinda a given), Ronnie Baxter, Wayne Mardle, Roland Scholten, Bob Anderson.
    Football - Martin Keown, Jamie Carragher, James McFadden, Jason Byrne
    Bray Wanderers - any player who has ever pulled on the Jersey and given 100% every time, special mention to Maurice Farrell, Colm Tresson, Stephen Fox, Wes Charles, Tarzan O'Brien, Pip Keogh and Jason Byrne again

    No 1 - Dennis Bergkamp - IMO simply the greatest

    A fan of solid centre-half's (no jokes at Keown's expense please ) and workhorses (a shít I left out Cafú,Costacurta,Adams) . Among the more skillfull I'd have to put in Overmars, Henry, Cantona, Maradonna, Gerrard, Pele, Liam Brady and Ronaldihno i suppose. They're probably more like the names expected i reckon
