Harald Bohr won a silver medal for Denmark at Olympic 1908. He was a mathematician of noted. I have no idea of what that meant. His profile here http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/Mathematicians/Bohr_Harald.html His brother, Niels Bohr, was the Nobel Prize winner in Physics for 1922.
Roberto Dinamite (Carlos Roberto de Oliveira), politician, member of the PSDB (Partido da Social Democracia Brasileira) elected deputado estadual (for City Council) 3 times.
Gianni Rivera, besides having been everything at AC Milan, including owner, was also a member of the Italian Parliament.

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.
Oleg Blokhin is a current member (communist) in the Ukrainian Parlament. Vsevolod Bobrov, a Soviet great in the 1940s and 50s who excelled in the Dinamo Moscow's 1945 English tour, was as good a hockey player as a soccer player, an HOF in both sports. Fritz Walter, I believe, was an airplane (fighter) mechanic with the Jagdgeschwader 51 on the Eastern Front during the war. Vladimir Maslachenko (Lev Yashin's back up in 1958, 1962) was the head of the Russian Freestyle Skiiing comission/association, a host of the soccer TV program on the Soviet and Russian TV, an avid yachtsman and kickboxer. BTW, Soviet players with the Army clubs were given military assignments after their playing careers were over. The number of those is too great to list.
But he failed to become Liberia's president. I just recalled a fomer NCAA player in the mid-1990s refused professional soccer so that he could get into medical school. He was a winner of the college player of the year award from UVa. Walsh????
Don't think Yashin played in any type of international or club team like Bobrov. Gudni Bergsson had a law degree iirc.
