          The original Han Solo
          Riddick
          But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

            Didn't see this call at all. Great call though. The more I think about, almost the most quintessential antihero of this millennium.

              So who is Don Draper.
              They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                That is the question.

                  I feel like I could say that about pretty much every character listed except for Travolta in PF.

                  I am so old and out of touch...
                  What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

                            To be fair, I had Richard III down but figured that would just make me sound like either a dork or an arrogant arse and was trying to avoid both.

                              Whereas I'm quite happy to be seen as an arrogant dork!

                                Mad Men, what a show.
                                Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.
