Least footballer looking footballers

[Eplel]

Which footballers you'd never believe they're top flight footballers/athletes if you bumped into randomly in the street?

For me it's Hector Bellerin. Looks more like he plays the ukelele in a spanish post-punk/reggeae trio.

Ed De Goey

I thought he was a saloon owner.

 

[V.O.]

Always fascinated me how Rogerio Ceni scored 130 goals as a goalkeeper while managing to look like an accountant the whole time.

 

[Gabriel Djemba-Bebe]

Neville Southall

 

[Chairman Steve]

After seeing his fashion choices and if I was tabula rasa to all football, I would think Dominic Calvert-Lewin was a judge from Queer Eye For The Straight Eye.

 

[Tottenhamguy]

Pirlo looks like a historian or professor for me.

 

[Strats]

Have a hard time deciding if Luke Shaw looks like a estate agent or a Love island contestant.

 

[SmashedHombre]

Casemiro

 

[SuperiorXI]

Jonjo Shelvey looks like Morph out of Art Attack

 

[VorZakone]

Robben.

 

[MexicanCowboy]

Iniesta

 

[Leg-End]

Le Tissier looked like he should be collecting your bins every week, probably smelt like it too.

 

[led_scholes]

From all the pictures I have seen from him, Luis Cubilla never looked as a football player, even for that era.

Now, from the players I have watched, Gary McCallister. However, I remember him already in his mid 30s, so I may be unfair to him.

 

[Leethal]

Charlie Adam

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

 

[Chairman Steve]

Julian Dicks always looked more like the head of one of the West Ham firms, rather than one of the West Ham first team.

 

[SirAnderson]

they look like a boy band from the 2000s. 90s a may be a bit too far.

 

[zaafi]

Peter Crouch. Looks like a taxation lawyer or something.

 

[Glorio]

McGinn

 

[cj_sparky]

Andy Reid

“The Stretford End Boys”
Singles
The hairdryer treatment
My heart is red
Stoppage time heartbreak

 

[Chief123]

Definitely Anthony Gordon! He looks like a lad who would knock on your door and ask if you want your drive jet washing for £5.

 

[Andersonson]

Leighton Baines looks like he played in a Oasis cover band

 

[Kinsella]

The real question here is which is worse - the baggy jeans era or the current skinny jeans era?

 

[Hashirama]

Diogo Godin and Juanfran always looked like geography teachers to me

 

[Blood Mage]

Adama Traore looks more like a rugby player or a boxer than a footballer. Hard to believe he plays the same sport as Messi and Modric.

 

[FeedTheGoat]

Adama Traore looks more like a rugby player or a boxer than a footballer. Hard to believe he plays the same sport as Messi and Modric.

Even harder to believe when you watch him play

 

[Wilt]

Luke Shaw .…doing stuff with a shovel

 

[FreakyJim]

Definitely Anthony Gordon! He looks like a lad who would knock on your door and ask if you want your drive jet washing for £5.

He looks like that orc commander from The lord of the rings.

 

[P-Ro]

Luke Shaw .…doing stuff with a shovel

Waiting patiently as @rimaldo gets first dibs.

[Red in STL]

Well if you bumped in to Choccy these days you'd never believe he was once a top flight footie player!

 

[Fortitude]

The real question here is which is worse - the baggy jeans era or the current skinny jeans era?

You know, I had that exact same thought.

 

[acnumber9]

Have a hard time deciding if Luke Shaw looks like a estate agent or a Love island contestant.

You say that like they’re distinct things.

 

[Oldyella]

Even harder to believe when you watch him play

 

[JustKatie]

Peter Crouch is the obvious one for me.

 

[Scandi Red]

I love that Scholes looks the least bad solely because he probably cares the least about fashion in that group.

Which begs the question: is the ultimate fashion tactic to never fully commit? You commit enough to be respected by the people who care about such nonsense, but not so much that people will piss themselves laughing at your photos in the future.

 

[Scandi Red]

The real question here is which is worse - the baggy jeans era or the current skinny jeans era?

Tough question.

Baggy pants always look bad no matter your body type. Skinny jeans can look OK for some. But baggy pants are more functional and makes you look like less of a twat.

 

[PogBruno]

Berbatov, looks like one of those characters from the gangster movies
