I'm just watching the Cricket and they were taking about their heros when they were kids.
My dad was my number one but a close second was Doug Walters. ;D
Who was your hero?
:cheers:
-
Probably Brocky although my old man worked for WD & HO Wills ( cigarette makers ) and I can remember him bringing home a poster of Alan Grice in his Craven Torana and I followed him for a while. Grew up playing tennis so any number of Aussies , but also Bjorn Borg and Roscoe Tanner
-
Cricket was Dean Jones
Motor sport was Brocky
And rugby league was Steve Walters
They mentioned what posters you had on your wall too, my wall was covered with girls & cars
-
In cricket it was Jonty Rhodes - my son's middle name is after him.
For years it was Lance Armstrong, and I was always speaking for him and defending him having read all his books, and admired all he had done for the cancer cause etc. I was pretty shattered when it was confirmed - felt absolutely duped by the prick!!

My Dad .
He taught me to be resourceful
lean to look & not just see
question what l didn't understand
be able to & willing to help others
understand the beauty around you
learn to appreciate the tranquillity of isolation
to be me
Thank Gordy :cup:

Fred Hollows
John Bertrand and the crew of Australia II
and Billy Thorpe
-
Andrew Ettingshausen
Steve Waugh
Bob Hawk :cheers:
-
Dean Jones and his Victorian spirit!
Later on it was Gilly. Probably not a hero but someone I admired was Jason Gillespie with his attitude towards the way he played.
But Deano was probably the best. Saw him make a one day hundred against Australia in a world ix game at the MCG years ago, bringing up the ton with a 6. Awesome player in his day.
-
Richard Hadley , Lance cairns.
Jeff Taylor.
I used to go to every one day at eden park in Auckland.
Most inspirational foreign payers were joel Ghana,
Due to the obvious australian embarrassment to the sport at the time by those dickhead Chappel brothers it did raise some tensions be tween au vs nz.
Having said that rod marsh gained more respect for what a class act is by removing himself from the game instead of disrespecting himself like the rest.
He's a hero in my book for kids from anywhere

Ed Hillary ( who I met and he signed the 10 dollar note he's on. Neil fin..met a few celebrities but is old men that have the wisdom young men fail to reconise that taught me the most about more unsung heros
-
Donald Mackay
Ok & Ranger Stacey......
-
Me Dad he tough me to respect me elders,use manners and be seen not heard.
2nd motor sport Brocky.
-
another one for Brocky
-
In my teens it was Possum, god rest him,
so can I change the title to who IS?
If so, its my one and a half year old Daughter :angel: and my three year old son >:D
For many reasons, but if it wasn't for my son I wouldn't be here. My daughter for her spirit.
Its amazing how when you sit back and take in past present and future where perspective can be placed.
Cheers

I know some say he had some faults, but don’t we all. ;D Kevin

Any of the fast West Indian bowlers. Michael Holding, Andy Roberts, Big Bird, Curtly etc. Always wanted to bowl like them. The fact that I wasn't black & 6'6" didn't stop me!

Steve Gall... Mr Mx for years...
Got to know him through the bike club St George, and what a real normal humble guy he is. He raced world wide, but you'd never know it, very humble.
I also got many go fast bits off him over the years that nobody else in AU had access to :D
My TT600 became a 720 with twin carbs, different head with valves that looked like they were off a Caterpillar truck, barrel, exhaust, ... :cup: :cup:
Cricket
Same as NickandBron - the West Indies and Aussie cricket teams of the 70's... Nothing has come close since in Cricket, but now cricket is just a corrupt farce like wogball.
AFL
Bruce Doull - the flying Doormat.. cause some chick came out and flashed her cans at him live on tele!
NRL
Too many to list.

The man in the yellow car, stormin Norman.
Having seen both these cars in action in the 60s and early 70s today's, nothing compares today.

Proper cars and real races not this pretentious crap now days by manufacturers that realy care so little about it that Mercedes and Nissan got invited to play so that when the 2 "true blue" companies split there's still someone driving round the track
