Goran Ivanisevic is probably most famous for being the only person to win the men's single title at Wimbledon as a wild card. A less well known fact is that he's a die hard fan of both West Brom and his hometown club, Hajduk Split, even managing to briefly turn out for them in 2001. Taking things a step further he played (and scored) for the Croation national team in a friendly against an International XI in 2002. With a record of one cap/one goal he can be spoken of in the same breath with such luminaries as Francis Jeffers & David Nugent.
And, if you ask me, being compared to those two footballing greats is the highest honour any sportsman can achieve!
