    Steve Young!

    always liked how he accepted his role as a back up and able to shine when it was his time. Many athletes would have bitch and complained.

    But he did get a pair of rings as a back up so maybe that's why he kept his mouth shut. Glad to see his patience paid off in 1995's SuperBowl.

    Then there was Dikembe Mutombo, mainly for being such a great human being! :)

    Montana and Rice then also grew to love Steve Young especially because he wasn't afraid to run the ball and take a hit in the process.
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

    And he still gives his love, he just gives it away, The love he receives is the love that is saved, And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky, A human being that was given to fly

    They don't make hockey players like this anymore! At only 5'10 he took on all comers, he could beat you with his goals, hits, or fists.

    Rudi Völler, the last greatest mustache soccer player. I saw him here in Mexico in 86, he was a hell of a player, but I always liked Jurgen a lot more.
