Peter Crouch

Peter Crouch is proof that self-awareness is a superpower. At 201 centimeters he could have been a one-note target man, but he developed genuine touch, scored 22 goals in 42 England appearances, and played in two World Cups. What wins me over completely is the second act: the robot celebration, the self-deprecating humor, the podcast career that made him arguably more beloved in retirement than in his playing days. Plenty of athletes guard their dignity; Crouch wagered his and gained everyone's affection. He understands that sport is entertainment, and that being in on the joke beats being above it.
