Many of these famous players have not let their fame or their money to get ‘into their heads.’ Most are still down-to-earth people. They are the sort of people you just pass by on the street and the airports, only for your mind to start telling you that you must have seen them somewhere. As you marshal your powers of recall, you come to realize that you have just been face-to-face with the world’s number one in your favorite sport!

Many of the famous players have also tended to put their fame to good use: in campaigning for worthwhile causes. In this way, a number of them have managed to raise funds for projects aimed at lessening the suffering of the less fortunate in the society.
