I'm with you Kitty, these guys are biking legends, I would also add Bill Ivy to the list. Not that they were any better than those before or after them, they were just the idols of my era.
Mike the bike of course had much success in both F1 and F2 cars, he became a true hero the day he rescued Clay Regazzoni from a burning car at the South African GP.
In 1976 4 lesser known drivers also became heros when they put themselves at great risk to rescue the legendary Niki Lauda.
Acts of bravery such as these are truely heroic in my eyes.

I would also add Dave Jeffries. A legend around the mountain and such a sad loss when he was tragically killed' I will miss his smile and his outlook on life. RIP Dave,

well....have to say my hero was STEVE BULL
he stayed at the Wolves for 14 years...despite being offered more money and chance to play for bigger clubs, he stayed with the Wolves and was loyal untill the end. He was no brain box, and played football, liked he enjoyed it; scored Goals for fun. Played 9 times for england...5 of which were as a sub..and yet stil scored 4 goals ...

Reading this thread and STEVE BULL was very much the name on my mind what a shock to see that he was already on here What a legend but definately a local hero.

Peter Barnes... mostly of Manchester City, but also some spanish club, West Brom and even Man Utd.
When I was young, he was my hero... an upcoming England left winger, highly acclaimed in his day. But he never really seemed to meet his potential.
At one point.. he even had a 'Peter Barnes Football Trainer' product on the market.... a ball attached with an elastic cord to your football shorts! Oh what fun when you kicked it hard... to have the ball recoil to your groin.
I quite liked Brian Jacks too. The Judo guy who ALWAYS won 'Superstars' on the telly. Nobody knew who the hell he really was, but he won everything!
