Ayrton Senna

I just watched the film "Senna" on Netflix. He was a hero of mine, loved the competition between him and Frost and even Mansell for a short while.

Sometimes the athletic hero fades when you see what they're like after they leave their sport (Lance Armstrong, Seb Coe etc). So I'll stick to my home town hero, Gary Lineker.

Not only a perfect gentleman on the pitch, but still a perfect ambassador for the sport in an age of greed and self-absorption.
