Who were you when you played footie?

[marukomu]

When I was a kid playing in the street, I always pretended to be someone. Who did you pretend to be?

I was Sammy McIlroy or Stuart Pearson.

 

[pogoss]

I was Aziz Bouderbala like most children in Morocco at that time

 

[foxtrot]

Ally McCoist. Who else?

 

[MO_DINERO]

John Barnes I later morphed in to Steve Mcmanaman.

 

[Big Boss]

Either Jari Litmanen or Marc Overmars

 

[Blue4life]

[Milanista]

Maldini, George Weah, Shevchenko and Rivera.

 

[SPiTFiRE]

João Pinto, Karel Poborsky, Rui Costa, Roger Galera (now in Corithians) and Pierre van Hooijdonk.

 

[Ad16]

Hmm, I can't really remember, but Rivaldo springs to mind.

 

[kel]

My personal heroes from the early 90's who I pretended to be when I started playing football after Italia '90: Lothar Matthäus, Totò Schillaci, Thomas Häßler, Roger Milla. Later also the likes of Romario, Dejan Savićević, Gheorghe Hagi...

 

[Milanista]

Almost forgot... mighty Oliver Bierhoff!

 

[Ret KiT]

Ronaldo Rivaldo Raul

 

[Stan]

Piet Keizer, Johan Cruijff or Gerd Muller.
litle later when i was 13 or 14: Johan Boskamp or Benny Nielsen

 

[robin_007]

Davids and later on Dani. I miss Dani

 

[mad87mad]

[mad87mad]

@ Milanista: bierhoff, sheva, rivera...... and not van basten?

 

[mad87mad]

lol .. you mean el diego because i didn't meet ninjabreaks

 

[Milanista]

I love Van Basten, but never really played as him. I was mainly George Weah when I played striker, he was a legend!

 

[SPiTFiRE]

Davids and later on Dani. I miss Dani

Yeah, and then he came to Benfica and made a spectacular season with van Hooijdonk, Roger and Mourinho as a coatch. Lovely Dani's left footed free kicks and skill that I almost miss!

 

[tuta]

Eric Cantona, Batistuta and Dennis Bergkamp at the same time !

 

[ThomasGOAL]

Chris Waddle and Eric Cantona O
But very young Matthäus during 90s

 

[PetrovLFC]

Micheal Owen, looked like him and played like him

then later Zidane as I lost my pace. Except with less skills Just the passing and vision.

 

[Gareth G]

gazza now i usually be rooney or paul McAreavey:lol:

 

[matherto]

in the park, on the field or in my street, I always used to be Becks, plus I used to play right midfield for a team, plus took the corners and free kicks, those were the days
