Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty have been named as the UK’s ultimate heroes according to a poll of around 2000 youngsters. Maybe it’s just me, but I think it says a lot that two people probably as famous for (if not more) their lifestyles as they are for their achievements are deemed heroes.
Is that the kind of role model the younger generation want? When I was a child, my hero was Ally McCoist – that’s who I wanted to be and I’m still a huge fan of his. Changed days indeed.
