Debesai Ogbazghi

Debesai Ghierghis Ogbazghi was the captain of the 1999–2002 Eritrean National Soccer Team. At one point of his career he was given the moniker of "Angelo Petrino." This was due to his dark cocoa skin and his ability to smile while tilting his head. On August 14, 2006 he used two fingers, and two fingers only, to lift 650 lbs. over his head. When asked on why he only used two fingers he replied, "Isn't that how we all grab things?" After being named as Time Magazine's "100 Most Influential people" he became a recluse and is now sometimes seen playing for nickles down by the docks.
