Is there an age-limit for these non=fans?

Sadly, those that make the headlines for the wrong reasons...
Mason Cox is front page news in Texas every time he gets a game for the biggest club in the world.
Can vouch for Marty Clarke actually. Met a few Irish boys in Spain and we bonded over the Clarke connection for a bit.Younger than dead.
So Cousins, Carey, Hird, Sammy, Ablett Snr, Fev? Maybe Swanny and Dusty, perhaps unfairly.
I know you are being sarcastic, because they couldn't give two stuffs. But maybe Ben Graham, Sav Rocca Chris Bryan, Nathan Chapman and Darren Bennett for their NFL exploits?
Marty Clarke in Ireland maybe, as he was one of the best Gaelic players in Ireland between his Collingwood stints?
Nick Stone as founder of Blue Stone.
Fitzy for his media exploits which crossed out of sports? Fev is becoming another.
Travis Fimmel trained with the Saints before his modelling and acting days, apparently. Warnie played U19s for the Saints, but never played seniors. Do they count?
Didn't Lindsay Fox play for the Saints as well. He'd be right up there. What is it with that club? All their players seem to want to run away to different careers! All the spoons I suppose.
Simon O'Donnell and Keith Miller would be pretty well known from their cricket days, particularly Miller who was one of the greats and would be known to some in the UK and on the Subcontinent.
Would Dusty be that well known?
He obviously had a break through year this year on field, but most non-fans wouldn't care about that.
At least Dangerfield had a lengthy contract/trade dispute that made the news...and a more unique name.

Forgot how handsome he was, that image I wouldve seen 100 times in 07/08 in the paper and online
Sounds like a typical stroll on a Sydney beach.The booed indigenous player
The big boxing thug
The son of the best player that could be even better
The teammates wife affair guy
The Big Dipper
The hot drug addict
The hot tattooed guy
The blonde tip top guy
Fox footy commentors had stengers playing for the eagles still in 2015Adam Goodes for sure - he still counts because the majority of NSW still think he is playing for the Swans.
Buddy Franklin (the clear number one)
Dusty Martin
Patrick Dangerfield
Maybe Ablett but he's now in the twilight if his career
Are the top three at the moment. After that there's a bit of a drop-off in prominence to non-AFL fans. The second tier is names like Fyfe, Selwood, and Naitanui.
But to put it in perspective, as a non-NRL fan I cannot name one single NRL player except Jarryd Hayne. The only EPL players I can name are Steve Gerrard and David Beckham, and both are retired.
Does Nathan Broad get a spot among the stars now?Most non-football supporting people will tend to remember players based on non-football narratives rather than their talent as footballers. I think you would find Cousins Goodes and Buddy would top that list.
And Dangerfield has made himself accessible by doing commercials, his fishing show, and general mediaWould Dusty be that well known?
