hero's and zero's

i don't have any hero's, a bit sad really, but that's the way i am. i suppose ayerton senna de silva was the closest thing to a hero, i had great admiration for that man, and grieved at watching his ill timed death.

being a rovers fan, imagine my delight to see the all time leading goal scorer and legend simon garnier, drinking in my local, back in the early eighties, only to discover, the guy was an ass. he pushed people around, and gave it the big i am. the fame had gone to his big fat head. after seeing the way he behaved, i went right off him.

talking of the eighties, i joined a working mans club, the mill hill, this is where i spent my miss spent youth, spanking ass at snooker. i used to play one guy quite regular, his name was Fred. i got on well with Fred, and discovered in conversation, i had been to school with his son and sexy daughter Debbie. on occasion, i would pop in before i went to the rovers, and then back when the game had finished. sometimes we would sit and chat, and football became the topic of many a conversation. one day, without being pressed, he told me he used to play a bit of football, his friend just smiled, and said, Fred was one of the best, and left it at that. i later quizzed his mate, i said, well? who did he play for then? he used to play for the rovers Neil, and he was a good un. i left it at that. i have seen him around, he has a walking stick now, in fact, he's had it for several years. we say hello in passing, and that's that. his second name is Pickering, google him, he was one of the best.

that's the difference, gerner and Pickering, one was a hero, the other a zero. Fred Pickering, i am humbled in your presence, and you are the only hero i have.

i know i have spelt sg's name wrong, i tend to do that to people for whom i have no respect, and i know i have contradicted myself, TSB
