Total legend. All time legend.
Blown away.
I have worked with some legendary 'disabled' people, but Zinardi really trumps the lot with his attitude.
He reconciles being a macho sportsman with being a disabled sportsman. He shows you don't need to give up being a man when the shit hits the fan. He deals in humour and humility, (where others might indulge in self loathing, doubt and negativity), yet gives nothing at all away in terms of being a competitive and professional human being, hard as nails.
Total hero.
