Who was your favorite sports star as a kid?

Jim Plunket.
Then a few Raiders defensive linemen.

Marco van Basten

Gilbert Perrault of the Buffalo Sabres and Bjorn Borg.

oh and Secretariat the thourougbred race horse - watching him in his final race emerge from the mist as he came into the home stretch with not a horse anywhere near him is my most favorite sports memory - he was a freak of nature.

Joe Willie Namath.

Besides being a Super Bowl winning quarterback, he got all the wimmins.

Evel Knievel.

Luc Nilis & Johan Museeuw

Kay Parker as a boy
but Christy Canyon hands down! :)

Giant Haystacks!! English wrestler
6 ft 11 in (2.11 m) and 672 lb (305 kg)
