Footballers who don’t look like footballers (1 Viewer)

[Blind-Faith]

Was watching the Middlesbrough game last night and the left back George Friend , just doesn’t look like a footballer but had a great game , now watching the wolves game and the centre back willy boly doesn’t look like a footballer either .

Can anyone think of any others? Only other ones that come to mind are Lee Trundle, Akinfenwa and Jon Parkin.

Not sure about that.
He reminds me of typical gobby, dirty, centre midfielders, usually found playing on local pitches (who are often quite skillful, but just hide it well)..
Ok, I see your point!

George grew up on a farm in North Devon and played Rugby (not football) until he was 16. Probably not your typical looking footballer. Good solid player at Exeter. Used to watch him play down there a bit.

As for others, agree about Crouch. What about Jan Molby when he was at Liverpool? Matt Rhead (Lincoln) should be working the doors at a nightclub.

Now a rugby player I can see , yeah every time I’ve seen him play he’s never had a bad game .

Also agree with Chadwick , my god he wasn’t blessed with any looks what so ever! Wouldn’t mind his bank account or footballing skills though haha

Paul Telfer.

Who, funnily enough, didn’t play like a footballer either.

David Seaman. I always thought he looked like an estate agent or something. Until he got his ponytail, then he just looked like a twat.

Great thread. You've got to go back to the 70's and 80's for the very best cos of the hair, and the sticker albums highlighted a lot.

David Armstrong-mullett AND combe-over in one? Great player though:

Ernie Hunt , if you hadn't seen him play you couldn't help but think how is he going to kick a football ball.

But oh boy could he.

Robbie Keane. Looked like a jockey.
Emile Heskey. Looked like a heavyweight boxer.
