Thread: Who is your Childhood hero?

Who is your childhood hero?

When I was a kid it was "John Wilson".
A fisherman who had his own tv series.
I visited one of his locations in Norwich and fished
there.
True to form I caught nothing but small pike and roach!

Les Hiddins- the bush tucker man
tony hart- creator supreme
fred dibner- best job in the world
captain james tiberius kirk- best job out of the world
six million dollar man

for starters

Ricky Grace. Point guard for the Perth Wildcats.

the Lone Ranger and his faithful red skin indian Tonto always saying "kimosabe"
(just looked it up after more than half of century...goes to show, ignorance doesn't
have to last for ever!) Urban Dictionary: Kimosabe

just concluded: kids gotta be real dumb

anyway since my childhood lasted a while I had other heroes
-Paladin in 'have gun, will travel' tv series
-Rowdy (played by the then not so famous clint eastwood) in Rawhide

had a few more but at a very young age I lost my (frontal) virginity
all heroes fell by the wayside to be replaced by ...
*in4 sobs and prefers not to say*
and my life up to now, has never been the same again

wilma deering from buck rogers in the 25th C-not hero per se but object of a great deal of affection

Billy Bush

isn't there a 'bearded sportsmen' thread around here somewhere

Charly's angels

Alan Ladd

this made me laugh until i cried.

too bad i have to spread some reputation around first

^ I'll take care of it.

I liked the Cisco Kid. At the end of the episode he and Pancho always had a good laugh.
