killamch89 Posted November 3, 2024 Share Posted November 3, 2024 Growing up, we all had that one athlete who inspired us, whether through their talent, work ethic, or character. Who was your childhood sports hero? Did they motivate you to pursue a particular sport, or did their achievements shape your values? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 The Brazilian Ronaldo is my favorite football hero when I was still a kid. I even had to have a haircut of his punk style haircut when I was growing up. My mother nearly killed me that day when I came back with the haircut 😂 😂. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 Mine was Zidane. Honestly, the way how he dribbled, ball control and moments of magic were what drew me to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Barida Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Ryan Giggs for me. I grew up watching Manchester United Play, and Ryan was one midfielder that was ever consistent for the Manchester United side. He was one of the players who made me become a Manchester United fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ja sa bong Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Diego Maradona was my childhood football sports hero. He led Argentina to winning the FIFA World Cup in 1986. It was shame he couldn't win it as a coach too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zizou is a legendary player. Mehn, I haven't seen any player like him. He was very successful as a player for both Real Madrid, France and also as a coach too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Giggs is a dog. He had an eight-year affair with his brother Rhodri Giggs' wife Natasha in 2003 which tainted his marriage. He's rigged with infidelity. Never liked him at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
