Has to be Diana Rigg as Emma Peel in the Avengers.
FAVOURITE PROFESSIONAL PLAYER OF ALL TIME:
Given his recent passing Pelé, he along with that Brazilian team were so amazing during the 1970 World Cup, it just made you want to get out on the green and play.

Tom Wilson is an inspiration still walk/running up and down the wing like an 18-year-old, gives us all hope.
MOST DIFFICULT ODIAXERE CLUB OPPONENT:
Big Rog is always fun to play against. I usually go flying into him from behind and get a well-deserved nudge or elbow to send me flying.
MOST MEMORABLE MATCH:
Cork City 1-Bayern Munich 1 in the 91/92 Uefa Cup. A bunch of part timers from Cork went into the lead against the mighty Bayern with a goal scored by all Ireland GAA star Dave Barry, a plumber who fitted a boiler the morning of the match. Stefan Effenberg had promised a six-goal victory for Bayern the 23-year-old midfielder took a verbal swipe at Dave Barry, declaring that the opposition’s talisman looked old enough to be his father. Dave’s retort to the German press afterwards was ‘If he thinks I was like his father, he played like my mother tonight.’

Irish team during Italia ’90 a magical few weeks for the whole Country.
JOHN LENNON OR PAUL McCARTNEY:
