Surely what ryan giggs has achieved has been something that few others will be able to emulate. pure class and not one bad part in his body. with all those trophies and for how long he is been performing at the top is trully inspirational, however the only downfall is not competing on the world stage for country, but like everyone once said he was the answer to englands left side!!

My all time favourite hero growing up would be boxing's very own clown prince, Naseem Hamed. He brought to boxing sheer class, arrogance, entertainment, charisma, power and wit and was one of boxing's greatest ever fighters. Every time I would watch Naz knock out opponent after opponent in the featherweight division with undeniable skill and class. But after losing to Marco Antonio Barrera and a narrow points victory over Manuel Calvo, Naz took a long absence and hasn't returned to the sport of boxing since then, where could truly have been a legend, but didn't fulfill his true potential... Boxing hasn't in my opinion been the same since the Prince went hiatus and I hope he comes back to the sport as he said he is as he was my favourite sporting hero growing up!

For me, it has to be my fellow Scot Blly Bremner. I sadly never saw Billy play live - I'm only 16 - but from the snippets he was amazing - tremendous guts and spirit and when I met him not long before he died, hr was a lovely guy - caring, warm - hearted, friendly and genuine. So for me, it's wee Billy. Let your sweet spirit roam free and may you play your soccer forever in Heaven. God bless your sweet spirit. Sleep tight wee Billy. Eternal love - Scot, Glasgow.

i think it has to be mohammed ali, the way that he delt with all of lifes situations, and was also one of, if not the greatest sporting people the world has ever seen. other than ali, the likes of bobby moore, dennis law, bobby charlton, ian botham, michael atherton, well the list goes on!one other person that needs a mention is fergie, the most successful football manager of recent times and still going strong

Roy Keane has to go down as one of the most inspirational players ever to grace the Premiership and his desire and will to win makes him my ultimate hero. Also a mention is needed for Tony McCoy, who puts his life on the line every day of the week and does not get the recognition he deserves for his sublime skill and ability, along with the 100% dedication he shows. Tiger Woods is also worthy of special praise, for he has single-handidly transformed the way golf is played and is also another professional who is unbelievably dedicated to his job.

No mention of Ayrton Senna?!?! Yet, Nigel mansel gets a few words! thats a disgrace, Senna made mansel look like a pizza delivery boy. Senna was the most telented driver to ever work the earth. bar none.

It has to be Bobby Moore, this country's greatest ever player, one of the greatest captains ever and a man who was loved by all. For Pele to say he was the greatest then you couldn't ask for more. Wore the claret blue and England shirt with pride which is an example those in the modern game should be doing anyway. A great tackler, always won the ball and never the man, the greatest reader of the game ever, was 3 movements ahead of the game, and the proably the greatest passer of a football will ever see. A true gent on and off the field, which was proved on the day he died, the saddness of football fans all over the world was felt. At west ham we relise how lucky we were to have such a sporting legend wear the claret and blue shirt and give so many west ham fans happy memories. God bless u bobby.

Where is Phil 'The Power' Taylor???!!! Who else has had the same amount of skill, determination and dominance in their chosen sport?? Ruling the world 13 times....nobody has done that in any sport, ever! He also doesn't need 10 or 14 other players to help him, he is THE man and should be knighted!

Cant believe no one has mentioned Roger Federer......Yes Sampras, Agassi, Bjorg et all have reached the games highest level and broken records, but Federer will encapsulate all before he retires.... He may be at a loss of form right now, but 'form is temporary, class is permanent' and RF will become the greatest ever tennis player the world has ever witnessed. Bow Down to Sir Roger Federer.

I'm only 20 but i got to say that heroes are people like the Manchester United team who lost their lives in 1958, and those who carried the club after the crash. Heroes are also those who never give up, and that is Manchester United for you...1999 team were heroes amongst others. Legends? so many in the United team and others but I believe even Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal have to admit the one through legend in the history of football (and in my view in the histroy of all sports) is the man who has won everything in a glorious career and is still as passionate about his job- Sir Alex Ferguson...Nobody could be a bigger legend!

Has to be Tom Finney. I never got to see him play but my dad said he was the best ever and if Bill Shankley agreed that's good enough for me. His committment to Preston North End is immense especially when compared to todays so called stars who worship the wallet. I have met the man on a number of occassions and he really is a true gentleman.

My sporting hero is Paul Gascoigne. I was 15 when i watched the World Cup in 1990 and was taken back by his amazing skill,determenation and the love for playing for his country. Paul was talked about by every young person you met in the 80's through to the 90's who loved football. The way he would drop his shoulder and breeze pass a defender would make me jump out of my seat as you could see a master at work. He was the ultimate comeback kid, everytime somebody put him down and said his career was over, hed bounce back again and again and the best example of this was Euro 96. In the two major tournaments he played in for England he led us to the semi finals, Which i would like to mention we have not been close to achieving since he last played for England. I watched football as a young child and was captivated by his footballing ability and hope we produce someone of his skill or maybe even that pride he would show for playing for his country.
