Moosey Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I have a lot of respect for "average" guys who do amazing things. John Burkhill for example. Ben Parkinson too. I'm not sure I could say there was a single greatest figure though. (David Hirst is a legend though. Apart from one incident that occurred after a lot of beers with him) Posted from Sheffieldforum.co.uk App for Android Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviathan13 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Someone's mentioned Alex Turner, but if you're going down the music route, why does Joe Elliott of Def Lep get ignored?!?! As much as I like the Arctics, they've not done what Def Leppard have done just yet... and Elliott's a Blade! There's also John McLaughlin of the Mahavishnu Orchestra! Unbelievably talented and much respected guitarist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Ladd Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Did he enjoy having his boots licked? We don't do that in the party Stan. Unlike those in Labour who lick certain parts of the Union bosses anatomy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
