A few of my favorite athletes from my younger days: 1 - Bart Starr. Not only was he an amazing player he is a true gentleman and everything you would hope for in your childhood idol. Best wishes and speedy recovery to him.
2 - Lou Graham. A professional golfer who won the U.S. Open in 1975. Just like Starr a true gentleman and everything you would want in a childhood idol.
3 - "The Man" Dave Scott. 6 times Hawaii Ironman champion. Everyone's idol who did triathlons back in the day.
There are a few athletes I like today, but as an adult it just isn't the same thing. -tnscouter
