There is a few for me:
Rory McIlroy - He is from my neck of the woods (or at least where I grew up) and has been NI's greatest sports person since Georgie Best. Obviously things are going well for him at present, but a few years ago he was in a bad spot in terms of his excellent standards. Great to see him back at the top.
Marcus Rashford - Rashford was always one of the more likable premier league footballers but the campaigning work he has done around free school meals really made me appreciate him. His struggles with United and England were well documented over the last 2 years so it is nice to see him playing so well at present right now. We need more like Rashford in the game - long may his good form continue.
Johnny Sexton - If anyone deserves to win the Rugby World Cup its this man here. 37 years old now and most definitely in his last hurrah - yet still arguably the best out-half in the Northern Hemisphere.
And of course just like Dons 50 said Dele Alli - When he was breaking through I told all my friends (they all support traditional big 6 teams, Rangers or Celtic) that Dele would be in the running for a Ballon D'or one day. They ridiculed me for months. Fast forward 18months and he was putting up sensational numbers at Spurs and winning back to back young player of the year awards. His downfall has been sad to watch and I often wonder if there is something else going on there that we won't hear about (personal/family problems etc).
I also like to keep an eye on former Dons that came across really well during their time at the club. Twine and Darling being two obvious ones but others include; Bamford, the Baldocks, Ben Reeves, Luke Chadwick and Dave Martin (easy to keep an eye on these days
)
