My earliest memory if of pretending to be Trevor Francis for some reason. Are you sure you meant Brian and not Jimmy?

Martin Buchan is the original answer to that, then at the end of my school days Pancho with the arm punch when I scored.

Mark Hughes when playing Heads and Volleys (remember that game) . Maradona other times as my dad brought me his video and shirt. Occasionally Georgie, but I hadn't seen enough footage during my early years.

Brian McClair for me, always loved choccy growing up and then that quickly changed to Cantona then Ole after '99.
28 Oct 2015 09:29:59
Becks and Zizou for me just simply because of the amount of media coverage they got. If you didn't have a pair of Beck's new Preds growing up you were a nobody.

I used to always be the mighty Bebe. Was a funny joke between me and my friends because I was awful on the school pitch.

I remember being Emmanuel Petit in the garden at one point during World Cup '98 : (
I also remember pretending to be Giggsy after THAT FA Cup goal.
Of course I was always Scholesy in the playground, running the show!

Haters going to hate!

To be honest i think my earliest was Van Nistelrooy. But often i remember playing GK as a kid and being Ricardo. (after that penalty save he did once)

When in goal - Gary Bailey
Outfield -Either Big Gordon McQueen OR Stevie Coppell.
