Ian Walker - former Spurs keeper, lovely hair.

Bret Hart - The excellence of execution, I wanted to be the kid that got his glasses, but I settled for a similar pair from pound city.

Pound City....I had to make do with ones I got free in rice krispies.

As for me it was Ray Houghton.

remeber her, she was a sort of black Kelly Brook (when Kelly was fresh)

Mr Bean.

Not Rowan Atkinson, Mr Bean. The mute. Our imaginary conversations were rather one-sided.

Gotta love how they released "toys" for kids for an 18's movie eh?

Nah, t'was 15's.

Speaking of releasing toys from an 18's movie though, anyone remember the Aliens toys? Those were pretty cool.

My sis had Spurs and Arsenal team posters in her room (I know a touch odd lol) and on the nights I slept in there I would give them pep talks and team talks... I'd imagine the talk before the match, the half time talk (always with different socre lines) and interviews after the match. I was only 6 lol

dr.bollocko · 09-10-2008 09:48PM

Norman Whiteside, Jack Kerouac and Jimmy Page.

Me and Bruce Willis go way back, Watching Die Hard every Christmas Eve.

I can remember having boyhood crushes on both Kim Wilde and Belinda Carlisle. I'd imagine neither of them have aged well though. Belinda Carlisle I always imagined to be a right dirty biatch who would take it all ways imagineable.

Tia and Tamara on Sister,Sister. I'd always watch that after school!

Lee Majors as The Fall Guy

Tom Selleck as "Magnum, P.I."

Myself and a friend used to play 'Dukes of Hazard' - I was always the blond one (Bo not Daisy!)

I always wanted to drive KITT but now that I think of it I never pretended to be David Hasselhoff.

Insect Overlord · 10-10-2008 12:30PM

Peter Schmeichel, goalkeeping super-hero. I spent most of my childhood years trying to perfect all his techniques! I can now throw a football beyond the half-way line :cool:
Shame about the rest of my game...

Angela Landsbury. Only as Jessica Fletcher in Murder She Wrote though. Still watch it.

RAFC · 10-10-2008 12:39PM

I really wanted to be George (Famous Five), she was the coolest girl ever.
Then it was Nancy Drew and I wanted to marry one (didn't matter which one) of the Hardy Boys.

When I grew up and realised these were fictional characters I wanted McGyver, cos he was real and so handy to have around if you were in a jam

Burial · 10-10-2008 12:49PM

Is that show still going? It's always on RTÉ...

Agamemnon · 10-10-2008 12:57PM

Timmy Mallett. Good ol' Wacaday. I have the theme tune as the alarm tone on my phone.

I knew my childhood was over when I became more interested in Michaela Strachan instead though.

mang87 · 10-10-2008 01:32PM

Hulk Hogan.

And me cousin. He wasn't famous, but he knew Karate, and I thought he was the only person in the world who could beat up Hulk Hogan
