Fame

Few footballers are honored to wear the number 10 on their jersey. PelE, Diego Maradona, and now, Lionel Messi have felt the weight of that number, and all have excelled. With five Ballon d'Ors (French for "golden balls"), awarded for meritorious achievement by FIFA (theFEdEration Internationale de Football Association), this shy player from Argentina, one of the youngest ever to play the game professionally, proves that to excel, one must know yourself and push yourself to succeed.
