It is Franz Beckenbauer. I wonder what's going on with him at this moment. I saw him playing with with his arm tied by bandages to his body after breaking his collar bone because he refused to be taken out of the game in the finals during the world championship of 1974 (correct me if I'm wrong).\nThose were the days of good soccer!\nHail to him.

Muhammed Ali\n  \nPelé\n\n(I have met somebody who played against Pelé, and against Garrincha, and all the famous footballers of that era, Stanley Matthews etc. I don't think he would have voted for a footballer as the best sportsman!)\n\nJesse Owens (well before my time)

I would probably think that Roy Tarpley, one of the biggest druggies of all time would have been.  \n\nIf not an outside shot at maybe Mark Aguirre.  But highly doubtful.

It was Clint Mathis.  He currently plays for Colorado in MLS.  He seems to have fell out of favor with the US Manager and is not on the World Cup roster for Germany 2006.  In 2002 he was one of the better players for the US but now seems sorta fat and out of shape.

Thats Eric Cantona.Played in England for Leeds United before making that suicidal move across the Pennines to Man United.\nI don't know if this is true but i heard that the reason he had to leave Leeds was because he was caught shagging a Team Mates wife who i won't mention ;-)

Wilton Norman Chamberlain, commonly known as Wilt Chamberlain (August 21, 1936 – October 12, 1999) was a former National Basketball Association basketball player. Known as Wilt the Stilt (a nickname he hated) or The Big Dipper, he is regarded as one of the greatest and most dominant basketball players of all time for the incredible statistical achievements he attained throughout his playing career.

He used cocaine for sure; pot was probably too pedestrian for him.  However, starting in 2000, it was ok to be a drug-using draft dodger.  That's why he was allowed to run by the same people who criticized earlier drug-using draft dodgers.\n\nI love hearing from folks born after the Vietnam war.  They almost always have no idea what went on back then.  It's amusing.
