I still would not recognise him if I saw him. I went to a couple of baseball and American football matches when I had a summer job in Milwaukee in 1970. Other than that, if I liked these sports I would only be able to see them whilst visiting the US or Japan as they don't seem to be on tv or played anywhere else in the world. I am not a fan of football either and despite his genuine world fame I would not recognise Ronaldhinho either - Beckham is unavoidable in England of course.
