Which footballer were you 'in your head'?

[madatta]

Garrincha at junior school, George Best when I got older.

Levi

More a Bill Bentley if I remember rightly

Ha ha, not quite as stocky though, that makes me think you must know me?

 

[Lytham_fy8]

Pierre Littbarski

I had a pair of these

 

[incredible_edibles]

I was always Johan Cruyff - think he just captured my imagination!

AWESOME boots. Never saw them back in the day. I had a teacher that used to call me little Littbarski when I was a kid in the school team. From then on I was always him in my head.

 

[Alfie Conn]

Horst Hrubesch

 

[Mahratta]

When you were a kid and playing football, which player were you in your head?

Was always Kevin Keegan for some reason!

Alan Ainscow

 

[69yearsafan]

Sergi Kornilenko

 

[Southshoresteve]

Same as. We must be similar ages.

Dalglish for me too - idolised him as a kid and still think he is the greatest player I’ve ever seen.

 

[the_dog]

Ossie Ardiles - just liked his name!!

 

[Billybigbananas]

In my head, the King.

In reality, a 147th rate Glyn James

Yeap I lived down the street

 

[eastsider]

Gordon Banks between the jumpers at Crossland Road Park

 

[Levi501]

Yeap I lived down the street

Which street?

 

[SuperTonyEllis]

Flitted between Gazza and Tony Ellis. Suffice to say I couldn't play like Gazza or score goals like Ellis

 

[Hazi]

Tony Currie & Colin Morris

 

[Poppajoe]

Which street?

Drakelowe

 

[Levi501]

Got it! MP?

 

[Walt Jabsco]

Steve Perryman

 

[archie]

Mark Hughes was my football hero as a kid. That scissor kick he scored for Wales against Spain was what made me want to be him.

 

[td53]

Weirdly it was Trevor Steven. I used to get taken to Everton games when I was really little by a boyfriend my auntie had and even though Graham Sharp was my favourite, I was Trevor Steven.

 

[td53]

Lev Yashin for me.

That can be few players with more mistique than the black spider.

I'm way too young to remember him but he fascinated me when I was a kid with a big book of football history.

 

[Levi501]

Lev Yashin was a fantastic keeper, he was so ahead of the times, how Pep Guardiola would love to go back in time and sign him!

 

[GTFsTwinBrother]

A bit like Ormerod but also looking back I had a hint of the Fonz and Nuttal about me.

 

[ansdellmafia]

Alan Gilzean . Graceful .
