Memo Ochoa, a icon off the field • 07/12/2012, 03:49 PM

With his acrobatic saves, Guillermo Ochoa is a star on the field. Even so, off the field he is just as big an attraction, and he distinguishes himself for his fan-friendly disposition and his popularity with the ladies.

His elegant and tidy style, mixed with the air of playfulness that his curly locks give him, create a stir in the female population.

Women always want to get their picture taken with him, and Memo accepts the “responsibility” with pleasure.

He’s so popular that women throw themselves on him to give him kisses, like this fan in the Pre-Olympic tournament before Beijing 2008.

His elegance and good taste are not only evident in his clothes, but also in his accessories, like his Louis Vuitton briefcase in this photo.

Ochoa’s charisma has made him very popular among fans, as he doesn’t deny them photographs or autographs.

That personality has also made him a darling of the media, who look for him frequently, especially at training with the Mexican national team.

A curious note: His “twin brother” in the music world is Spanish singer David Bisbal.

His other “twin” from the cartoon world, is Sideshow Bob from the Simpsons, because of their similar hairdos.

Getting back to style and elegance, he doesn’t get ruffled even after a ride on a bus.

His talents have been recognized in several ways, like when he received a Mexican flag from President Felipe Calderon before the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

On the other hand, he is a relaxed and friendly individual who never refuses to pose for a picture with his fans.

As a result, he doesn’t only have fans among men and women, but he is also one of the most popular among children who look to have their photograph taken with him and get his autograph.

Additionally, he always looks good, whether in uniform or in formal suits or dressed casually, where he also shows his style.

And he doesn’t even lose his charm when he displays his hair in a ponytail, like when he was awarded the “Golden Ball” in Mexico in 2007.
