Sporting heros and villains

Postby Booney » Sat Dec 04, 2010 11:31 am

We all have someone who makes us smile when we watch them work in their chosen field and some make our skin crawl.

For mine, there is nobody in the sporting world who made my day more than watching Warnie at his prime. His skills set is without peer, his ability to get under an opponents skin as good as any, his fearless approach with the bat and his off field antics make him the human headline of Australia.

My villain? This tosser.

Sure, Im no huge soccer fan but this world class flog ensures his antics reach further than the confines of A-League fans. Muscat, you sir are a wanker of the highest order.

Who are yours?
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

As a kid I always rated Dermie as a villain, but as I hit my middle-late teams I gathered a whole new perspective on him and he became a bit of a legend for me, for the way he played the game.

Hard to go past Warnie as the hero, although Steve Waugh is likely my most admired sportsman of all time.

It's always hard to go past the greats from your own team/club, so whilst my footy club is but a dot on the global sporting network, Macca will always be top of the pops for mine.

Your selection of villain will be hard to beat mate, gets my vote aswell.

Might need 3 categories ... Heroes, villains and outright tossers.

Guess where Mr Muscat falls into?

harbhajan singh's a tough call ... villain for mine.

Chappelli is definitely a hero.
Dunno, I’m just an idiot.

Have so many heroes, from the likes of Elway, Favre, Jerry Rice, Griffey Jr, A-Rod.
In our game, Judd, Scott West, Roger James, Bartel, Hodge

But all pale in comparison to MJ.

Villans, Liberatore would be up there, can't stand Muscat, Triple H, Mundine
Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing.
