These 5 Of The Best Likeable Sports Personalities That You Will Fall In Love With

In the world of sports, there are some athletes that are just too good to be disliked.

Yes, these are some of the top names in the world that are just impossible not to like.

Whether it’s good play, good coaching or good sportsmanship, professional success is part of it. But the likes of character, media presence and modesty also play a major part of their stardom and success all over.

The below mentioned sports may have hit the heights of success or perhaps will have in the future, but these figures are normally not too flashy but simply go about their trade with formality.

Let’s show some love for these talented superstars as we highlight some of the best likeable stars which possess extreme faithfulness and flair. Let’s find out.

Lionel Messi:
Argentina’s footballing magician, Lionel Messi is one of the greatest players in the world and by no means that’s underrated. The Barcelona forward has FIFA’s award for the best player of the year four times. Moreover, the talented player is a social activist as well, adding a self-named foundation and a goodwill ambassador by UNICEF to the tally. Humble, jovial in spirit and always carrying a smile on his face, Messi is ‘god’s gift’ to world football.

Roger Federer:
Former world number one and 17-time Grand Slam winner Roger Federer is yet another prospect of likeable athletes. Just like Messi, ‘Fedex’ is a gentle persona on the court as well as off it. The Swiss ace also heads the ‘The Roger Federer Foundation’ that looks after poverty stricken children. Federer has also carried out some charitable works through the United Nation.

Nico Rosberg:
Mercedes and F1 talent, Nico Rosberg may not yet have hit the heights of success but the former is just too good to be ignored. The German driver may have spent some controversial moments with his teammate, Lewis Hamilton this F1 calendar year but the driver has taken that in stride.

Rahul Dravid:
Former India skipper and batting legend, Rahul Dravid is a great ambassador for the gentleman’s game. The stalwart batsman has 13,288 runs in Tests and 10,889 runs in ODIs but the former is generally known for his sportsmanship behaviour on the field. Dravid also known as ‘The Wall’ is a respected figure across all opponents mainly down to his jolly character.

George Bailey:
Another cricketer who always carries a smile on his face is none other than Aussie, George Bailey. The former T20 skipper is totally ‘different’ to teammates with no kind of sledging nature at all. Bailey leads the IPL side Kings XI Punjab and is a favourite amongst the local fans.
