Andrew Flintoff
Courtesy of his performances in the 2005 Ashes, Andrew Flintoff not only claimed the BBC Sports Personality of the Year but also the ICC Player of the Year and gave England fans the all-rounder they have been craving ever since Ian Botham hung up his boots.
Despite some dizzying highs, memorable moments and immense popularity, Flintoff couldn't quite consistently hit the levels expected of him. Still, he carved out a great England career, which came to an end in 2010.
Since then not only has he played in various domestic T20 leagues but also taken part in a professional boxing match and carved out a successful TV career in A League of Their Own, alongside James Corden and even won the first series of Australian version of I'm a Celebrity.. Get Me Out of Here! after spending a month in the jungle in 2015 and taking on multiple challenges including eating a rat's tail.
