Who were your top 3 heros of the past 10 years?

Mint Aero

This will say a lot about the kind of person you are because I said so.
Lets try and stick with popular culture. For bonus please add 1 new hero who are a more recent addition.

Mine were:

Barack Obama.
Derren Brown.
Jeremy Clarkson.

Barack for his oratory. Again Derren for oratory but also sheer excellence in showmanship. Clarkson's a boss and entertained me.

Recent Hero:

Boris Johnson. Another boss. We just simply don't rear people like this in our country. T'mor ta'pity.

Fox_In_Socks

The Kuwaiti Irish lad who bare knuckle boxed a few Turks earlier this month.


I want a statue of him in Mullingyyyyyyaaaaaarrrrrrrr

The Backwards Man

Kris Kristofferson - totes ledge as the young wans say

Enda Kenny - brought the country from the brink of bankruptcy to the thriving world leader it is today

Me Da - taught me everything there is to know about turf and spuds

Pherekydes

Malala.

No one else comes close.

Maybe Chelsey Sullenberger.

And the three (4 or 5) guys who prevented a mass slaughter on the Amsterdam to Paris train.

Michael D. Higgins - for his oratory and quiet dignity.
Katie Taylor - I've no interest in watching people hitting each other, but I've always been intrigued by her quiet demeanour and that weird juxtaposition of her deeply-held religious beliefs with her propensity for hitting people really hard in the face.
Malala Yousafzai, for very obvious reasons.

Recently - Paul Murphy of the Anti-Austerity Alliance. Especially after establishment lackey, Ryan Tubridy's pathetic attempt at ambushing him on the Late Late Show.

Boris is a dick. He's a sleeper with an, as yet, undisclosed agenda.

My hero is my brother. Working in a refugee camp in Jordan making prosthetics for amputees.

Fiery mutant

Malala Yousafzai - one of the bravest people alive in my opinion.

Katie Taylor - inspirational athlete, constantly pushes herself to stay top of her game.

Dick Hoyt - brings his 51 year old disabled son with him while he runs marathons and triathlons. Pushes him in a special trolley. Amazing.
