In your opinion?

Eric Cantona is being interviewed on 6 music at the moment. He's god-like deity.And despite being a genius, quite happy to take the piss out of himself.

Your nominations please? and why

Without a doubt, the person that thought up the concept of writing "fighting crime, defending people" on the side of police cars and vans in Manchester is pretty cool. Before they started doing that I often wondered if those yellow and white cars dashing about were pizza delivery peeps in a rush.

I was just listening to Cantona on 6music too. The interviewer was clearly struggling to keep her cool!

I'm no fan of Man U, but Eric certainly is the coolest footballer I can think of.

Coolest person on the planet though?

Probably this guy ('s in love with you)...#

Coolest person [b]off[/b] the planet: Neil Armstrong.

[img] [/img]

I guess you've read the account of the hair-raising touching-down on The Moon for the first time, then there's the famous "one-small step..." sound-bite.

I don't think he broke into a sweat at any time. A seriously cool dude.

Eric Cantona? Why? Hes a footballer.

Cantona, for definite. Even my exceptionally straight boyfriend would snog him.

And why, Hora? because he's not just any old footballer.

Andy Green of land speed record fame. Heard a recording of him on the intercom just after the parachute had snapped off and he was heading off the end of the runway at 800 odd mph - cool as you like

jojoA1- if your talking unbiased, Thierry Henry.

bruneep- in that case I'd say Ned Flanders. Strong, principled man of God, humble who hides his killer abs away. Thats cool.

Agree with some such as D. Attenborough, Frank Sinatra, Will Smith

...although might be strange choice, going to add Stephen Fry.

Disagree with Homer (surely Bender is cooler), Bono, Cantona, J K.

Women can be hot, cool or both at the same time.

A lot of rather clichéd choices above I must say, and a few quite surprising ones.

Will Smith FFS? He's about the least cool black man on the planet. Even Carlton from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air is cooler than him.

And forget Hendrix, this afro-owner is waaaay cooler...
