Jakub Błaszczykowski

Jakub Blaszczykowski is the kind of footballer I instinctively root for. At just 175 centimeters he was never the biggest winger, but his relentless running and willingness to take defenders on made him a fan favorite and a two-time Polish player of the year. What moves me even more is the loyalty in his story, breaking through at Wisla Krakow and later returning as a part owner of the club that raised him. That sense of giving back to where you came from, plus an Order of the Smile to his name, tells me this is a genuinely good man, not just a good player.
