    Henrik Larsson, not only was he a world class striker but growing up he was also a gentleman, didn't have that ego and loved the fans.

    The one and only George McCluskey.

    That glorious 1981 season when we won the league against the odds, McCluskey led the attack and scored 2 goals in the season clincher against St Mirren at Parkhead.

    I was only a little kid back then and was genuinely brokenhearted when he left a couple of years later. I vowed never to have any heroes again !

    Charlie nicholas, I even got the perm at the back and both ears pierced. Never forget his goal at ibrox when he shifted the ball from foot to foot then leathered it.

    Di Canio, was 10 at the time and absolutely taken in by his brilliance. Bought the Pantofola D'Ora white and green boots he wore and have had childhood memories tainted by the fact of his facism the brilliant * that he is/was :54::smiley-laughing002:

    Larsson.

    Always had a poster of him next to my Jim Morrison one. I couldn't have asked for a better wankbank.

    What position did Batman play again? Stone colds goal against the Huns in 2006 was brilliant.

    Larsson is the obvious choice for me but wee Lubo isn't far off at all.
