This is a thread about sport stars you started off as disliking, and yet somehow they have won you over for whatever reason.
To demonstrate what I mean I'll start with:
Snooker star Steve Davis, I used to loathe him he won everything he was like a robot to watch and as far as I could tell he had absolutely no personality, and yet as the years have gone by I've come to think of him a great bloke, I find him extremely likable he has a sharp wit and a extremely dry sense of humour, and I really did get him wrong in the beginning.
I think I changed my opinion of him when I heard him say this on some TV show I can't remember which.
Question, So how do you get on with Alex Higgins, Steve?
Answer, He's a great bloke in fact he saved my life once.
Stunned, the person who asked the question said. Really how?
Steve answered. Well I left a club one night and these six blokes set about me they were kicking and punching me, I thought I was going to die, but then Alex came out of the same club he lit a fag and said "Okay that's enough now lads".
I cracked up and realised the guy did have a personality and a great sense of humour...
So have you changed your mind about somebody famous, in the sporting world? either liking or disliking at first...
