Who was your very first favourite footballer?

[Lola]

George Best. Met him and a few other footballers in Manchester

Ally McCoist for me as well, he’s still my hero to this day!

Met him once at an Ibrox tour when I was 14, he walked through the door and my legs just buckled. My dad said he’s never been so embarrassed in his life.

Nothing will ever beat Rangers in the 90’s... Gazza, Laudrup and McCoist!

I wasn’t actually keen on any footballer till we started going to old Trafford early 90s... watching them all arrive in flash cars and Mark Hughes in a battered estate car! But what I really used to watch was his legs...

And Cantona cos he always had so much time for the kids waiting to see him at the players entrance...

I liked Bremner, but for me it would between Peter Lorimer, David Harvey and Allan 'Sniffer' Clarke, his little brother Wayne came to Shrewsbury towards the end of his career and he is still the best striker I have ever seen in Blue and Amber.
His older brother Frank also played for us, but before my time. Four out the five of the Clarke brothers played at one time for our local rivals Walsall.

Mark Hughes comes and sees us every match he attends, great guy always makes time to talk to us even when running late he doesn’t blank us unlike some of the current squad
