RossP Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 James McFadden - to personally thank him for THAT GOAL, which directly contributed to the best day/night of my life If I ever end up with dementia and forget my own name/age/whereabouts, I bet i'll still remember the image of his shot hitting the net, along with the delerium of the stadium 2 seconds later when we realised it was a goal. Was greetin' like a bairn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ca_gere Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Armando IannucciGood call. Everything he does is good.There's a bunch of folk I'm infatuated with but whose body of work isn't yet large enough to be considered hero-worthy. (Charlie Brooker, Douglas Coupland to name but two)One of my all time heroes is Werner Herzog. Everything about the man and his art is interesting in some way.So there's him... and Jimmy Mcnulty from the Wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridge Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Well, I'm lucky in that I have met my musical heroes, namely the guys in Kings X, (Doug Pinnick, Jerry Gaskill and Ty Tabor) - three of the nicest people you could care to meet and utter gentlemen. They were very kind to my wife who is disabled and also a fan.Others would include:Charles DarwinMartin Luther KingGhandiIsaac newton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
