What modern footballer do you admire as a person the most.
I have to go for Big Niall Quinn. Not only did he give all his testimonial money to charity but in his attempt to build up Sunderland he has gone to all the working men clubs to talk to the locals on a personal level. IN an age of corporate fans, he wants to keep the local working class support.
When a plane was delayed he personally paid for taxis for all supporters to get the Sunderland fans home.
On football focus he was pushing for premiership chairmen to give a percentage of their cash to local community causes.
I think that he is a class above most modern footballers (as a person - not as a player).
I thought about Geroge Weah but don't know enough about what he has done in Liberia.
