Hi guys…Quite some time since I wrote a review. I wanted to write something interesting and was waiting for an appropriate topic. Azhar suggested I write on this topic and I thought it was really a good idea knowing my passion for sports.
Well since I could get a bit biased, I am not going to rank the players. Each person is good at his own sport in his own way. Every single one of them is unique. I would like to add that I am only going to name the players in this era cause I don know well bout the players of yesteryears. So lets get going.
1. David Beckham (Football, Plays 4 Real Madrid & England) – David is THE biggest sports personality the world has seen. He is a global phenomenon. His popularity is so huge among Asian football fans that Real Madrid bought him to expand their popularity in Asia and also of course for his football talent. His every single move is followed by the press. His accurate trademark crosses are feared by most goalkeepers and he is the striker’s best friend on the pitch. He is also the devoted captain of the England football team. His goal from a free kick during the injury time against Greece in 2002 World Cup Qualifier, assured England a place in the finals help in Korea-Japan. Not only he is a great footballer, he is a very loving husband Victoria Adams (also known as Posh Spice from the Spice girls) and a great father of 2 boys namely Brooklyn and Romeo. He is every gal’s dream guy (including mine). There is so much to say about this man. Guess I have to do it in another topic.
2. Sachin Tendulkar (Cricket, India) – Sachin Tendulkar also known as the little master blaster is undisputedly one of the best batsmen in the world. He started his career in 1989 and in these 15 years he has achieved so much and broken so many records and he still has another 5 to 7 yrs in his hands. He is a pure joy to watch when he is in his form. By the time he retires he is going to make records that can never be broken. He may not at times perform under pressure but he is still one of the best.
3. Michael Schumacher (Formula One Racing, Germany) – The undisputed king of formula one racing. Racing for the prancing horse Ferrari, this man is the king of the formula one circuits. With 6 world champion titles to his name, he has broken the record held by Juan Manuel Fangio (5 titles). This season he is going for the 7th title that would elevate him furthur. His driving style and aggression has brought him many fans. His wheel to wheel fight with Juan Pablo Montoya in Australian and Malaysian Grand Prix last year was such a thrill to watch. Hope he continues his success this year.
P.S. he also plays football and is quite good at it too. Talk bout being a jack of all trades.
Possible Successors: Kimi Raikkonen & Juan Pablo Montoya
4. Pete Sampras (Tennis, USA) – My most favourite tennis player. I started watching tennis in the summar of 1999 starting with Wimbledon and I was amazed my the quality of this man’s game. He is known as the biggest server in men’s game. He was won 14 grand slam titles including 7 Wimbledon titles. After a long journey in professional tennis, Pete finally retired in 2003. We still miss him.
Possible Successors: Roger Fedrer & Andy Rodicck
5. Andre Agassi (Tennis, USA) – The most charming tennis player. He is known as the best receiver in the men’s game in tennis. His matches against Pete Sampras are the most interesting matches that you can see. The best server and the best receiver playing against each other is just fantastic to watch. He is one of the calmest tennis players I have seen. No fuss but great deal of talent. His matches are definitely the ones you have to see and the way he thanks his fans after each match is just so charming. His 8 grand slam titles plus his marriage to Steffi Graf propelled his popularity among tennis fans.
I will be stopping with 5 personalities. This is due to the fact that each player is my most favourite from each sport and I can’t think of anyone better. If u guys have your own favourites please write bout them under the comments section. I might have missed out many good players but please understand these are my favourite sports personalities. Thank You!
