Cardiff City's Michael Chopra is not just flying high the Championship's leading scorer with 12 - in 2nd place is Cardiff City's Peter Whittingham with 9! - but he is hitting the limelight in other ways too.
Last week, he met The Queen at Buckingham Palace attending with a delegation of Indian sports stars. This week, his ethnic background saw him accept a bid to a World Cup 2018 Ambassador for England's bid. Chops' is the highest profile player on Asian origins in Britain and the F.A. have asked him to help in meetings and presentations with Far East representatives.
Bluebirds boss Dave Jones commented to Wales Online that, "It's a great honour for a club like ours - a Welsh club - to have a player as an ambassador for England 2018. I wish Chops every success with it. We'll have to keep his feet on the ground - he's just been to see the Queen! But seriously, I'd love to see the World Cup being staged in England."
