Harald Bohr won a silver medal for Denmark at Olympic 1908. He was a mathematician of noted.

Quote:
Harald Bohr's outstanding contribution to mathematics was his conception of almost periodic functions, which he defined and and studied in three great papers published in Acta mathematica in 1924-1926, and which formed the brilliant conclusion of his prolonged investigation of the Dirichlet series and the functions represented by such series.
I have no idea of what that meant.

His brother, Niels Bohr, was the Nobel Prize winner in Physics for 1922.

Thomas Hässler founded the record label MTM Music. It seems to specialize in cheesy AOR and hard rock.

Tostao, who played in Brazil's 1970 World Cup win, was an eye doctor.

Gerhard Hanappi, one of Austria's greatest players, was an architect and he designed Rapid Vienna's smaller home stadium, which was named in his honour. Rapid also plays some home matches at the Ernst Happen Stadion, formerly known as the Prater.

Did he treat himself after the incident in 1970? Or did that incident make him to decide to become an eye doctor?

I'm not sure about an incident in 1970 but I do know of one in 1969. I should correct myself. I didn't mean eye doctor, I meant eye specialist. He was playing in the Copa Libertadores against Millionarios in Bogota, Colombia and a retina got detached. He underwent specialist surgery in Houston, USA and the operation was a success. He was already a qualified doctor but not an eye specialist. Tostao became one after he retired, in 1973, when he was only 26 years old.
