Roger Crawford (born October 8, 1960) is a tennis player and a motivational speaker. He was the first Division I college athlete to compete with a disability affecting all four limbs.[1] Crawford was born with ectrodactyly, and only has three fingers; one on his right and two on his left. He is also missing his left leg and some toes on his right foot.[1] Sports Illustrated has recognized Roger as "One of the most accomplished, physically challenged athletes in history!"[citation needed] He's also the recipient of the ITA Achievement Award, presented by the International Tennis Hall of Fame.[citation needed]
