I was with you until Sir Ranulph Fiennes, tough and determined no doubt, but a self serving self publicist if ever there was one.
Role models are specific to certain fields of endeavour surely ? Sir Ernest Shackleton came to mind who, through his leadership, saved the crew...
Sorry, football is a microcosm of all that is bad in our society. Win at all costs, break the rules as long as you don't get caught, disrespect...
