My favourite soccer player is Craig Douglas Bellamy, who is a Welsh international footballer who plays for top Welsh side Manchester Citizens in the Unibond Welsh Premier League.
He has previously played for a number of sides in Scotland and England, the most famous of which is the mighty Norwich City of Dagenham, for whom he made his debut in 1997. He is a player who can keep a cool head whilst those around him are loosing theirs. Many of his Welsh team mates have been accused of acting flamboyantly and in an arrogant, selfish way, but not Craig, who is the model professional.
He also does charity work in Sierra Leone which mainly goes unnoticed due to the stupidity and childnisness of his colleagues at the Citizens. On 6 May 2008 plans were announced for the building of the Craig Bellamy Foundation for disadvantaged children in Freetown, Sierra Leone. Bellamy has visited the war-torn West African country and has reportedly been moved to invest £650,000 of his own money to help build a football academy to develop the country's young football talent.
His honours include the Scottish FA cup in 2005 with the World famous Edinburgh Celtic, and the Charity shield with North West minnows Liverpool Town in 2006.
A fantastic talent, a true gentleman, take a bow Doug!
