Especially like the squeeky clean part. Like it or not, all the greats are role models and the really good ones are rare.
Michael Jordan... (Even named my son Jordan after him) By far the greatest basketball player of all time. Also a wonderful role model for kids (much better than A LOT of pro athletes we've got now).
John Constantine "Johnny" Unitas (May 7, 1933 – September 11, 2002), nicknamed The Golden Arm and often called Johnny U, was a professional American football player in the 1950s through the 1970s, spending the majority of his career with the Baltimore Colts. He was a record-setting quarterback and the National Football League's most valuable player in 1959, 1964 and 1967. His record of throwing a touchdown pass in 47 consecutive games (between 1956-1960) is unsurpassed and is likely to stay that way for a very long time. Unitas is widely considered to be the greatest quarterback of all-time.
