  My Top 5 Sporting Icons.

    Intro. 

As I was sitting at my desk this morning, I was thinking what should I write about, because I don't plan anything, I could do a list of my modern wrestling icons, but I thought, No. I instead thought to myself. Wrestlers hero's normally tend to be sporting Icon's, so this gave me an idea. I'm going to do my own Top 5 list of my own sporting Icons. ( Wrestlers maybe included )

5. Thierry Henry.

As some of you might know, i'm a massive Arsenal supporter, and this man did magic things with a football. This. Man is god. World Cup winner. 3 time FA Cup winner, and a 2 time Premier league winner, when he was at my club. Mr Va Va Voom instead.

4. Dennis Bergkamp.

If Thierry was a god, then this man was a close second. That goal against Newcastle, is one of the best That I have ever seen, and his overall play just screamed. I'll play anyone, anytime, anywhere.

3. Randy The Natural Couture.

Captain America, is better known to Comic Books fans like myself as Steve Rodgers, but to UFC fans, like myself. Randy The Natural Couture is Captain America. His fighting ability was a sight to be seen, and to think this is a guy who didn't take up MMA until he was in his late 30's, and retired from Professional Compettion when he was in his early 50's. This Man wasn't real.

2. Chuck Liddell.

It was one for the money, and two for the show, because this man blew the roof off any arena that he entered. His rivalry against Tito Ortiz, was seen as vital for the UFC back in the promotions early days. His back to basics fighting style, and likeable everyman persona, is something that I have always gravitated towards. Even though. There are some troubling alligations around this mans name in recent years, that I don't condone. It's how this person has impacted my life, and the memories that they've given me. Like I said. I do not condone DV. I just think that I have learnt a lot about myself watching this man fight.

1. The Rock.

What more can I say. This guy is arguably my idol, and  I don't think I believe in idols. So what does that tell you.
