My Dad was a Wolves season ticket holder during the seventies and I got to go to quite a few games so naturally my first sporting heroes were Derek Doogan and John Richards and a little later, Andy Gray. I rode BMX in the early 80's so Haro and Fiola adorned my bedroom wall as an early teenager followed by The Bones Brigade when I started skating. Although I would never admit it to my Dad, I admired the Liverpool team of that era and was thrilled when Emlyn Hughes signed for Wolves.

John Cleland always seemed like his natural place in life was being assistant manager of a branch of Clydesdale Bank or something, rather than trying to kill people with a Vauxhall Cavalier. Glory days

Paul Elvestrom, 4x gold Olympian.
As a quirk, I did a short presentation on him in 1989 at a race training camp - with the only person to have surpassed him now, Ben Ainslie.

Hooper did a motivational talk for the gym chain I worked with. He was great. I was 30 at the time, and the only guy who knew who he was....
