Cuauhtémoc Blanco

Cuauhtémoc Blanco is one of football's great showmen, and I still picture the audacious Cuauhtemiña, his signature move, at the 1998 World Cup. What fascinates me more is his second act. Going from beloved Mexico City fantasista to mayor of Cuernavaca and then governor of Morelos is an astonishing pivot from entertaining crowds to governing them. His political record draws plenty of debate, but I admire the sheer nerve of the transformation. He reminds me that for some stars the real drama begins only after the final whistle, in arenas far less forgiving than a stadium.
