Who is most recognizable worldwide?

Why are people clining on to Jordan's fame which faded a decade ago? Thats a whole new generation of people who have no idea who he is.

Give it a couple of years and Beckham will single handedly raise the profile of "soccer" in America to become one of the most biggest sports.

And unfortunatley for the wrong reasons the most recognized person in Europe at the moment is Madeline Mccann.
