    Well, who is it that you look up to with starry eyed admiration and think 'LEGEND' and why??

    I have so many but one of the main ones for me is Frank Sinatra just for musicals, I love nothing better than to lounge on the sofa on a Sunday afternoon watching one of them while nursing my hangover. So who is it for you?

    Apologies if its been done before.

    I have a few. The following would definately be up there: Mick Foley (although I don't watch pro wrestling any more), Randy Couture, Grace Kelly, and Batman.

    Yes, one of my idols is a fictional character, what's it to ya?!?

    Mick Foley for me too. If only more people who are "celebrities" had his attitude, passion or brains.

    Tom Crean is a real legend. I'd urge people to read up on this man's exploits. One of the greatest Irishmen of all time in my opinion.
