Mourinho was a hero in a tough year

Your sporting heroes and villains of 2018...

Hero: Sam Curran. England wouldn’t have had half of their decent recent results in cricket if he wasn’t playing. Villain: Paul Pogba. He’s a brand not a footballer. Has no respect for Man United or anyone else as Fergie snr knew.

@Chrissutton12

Victoria Smith, special Olympics gold medallist and Gary (look at me I’m amazing) Lineker. Obviously Victoria is the heroine.

Lauren Steadman is a heroine of 2018 @mradafu

Hero: Steve Evans

Villains: Steve Evans haters.

@Leckieknows

Netherton United manager Jon Harrison is both a hero (won a quad) and a villain (sixgame ban). @Alexbro70

Hero: Steve Evans for delivering an astonishing run of impressive away successes despite unprecedented preseason cynicism.

Villain: Steve Evans for turning London Road into a paper fortress despite a superabundance of unqualified advice on how to do his job correctly.

@Paul_Cyclops

Hero: Raheem Sterling for speaking out when it would have been easier to keep quiet Villains: Racist football fans

@capper_mike

Hero: Josè Mourinho. He has offered a source of amusement in a tough year.

@DaleMeachen

You’re my hero Swanny, always have been.
