Player quirks

Gary Lineker likes to plant his arse on the ground after challenging for the ball especially if its raining on the pitch. Its almost as if he is hiding something.
 
Veron used to do a little knee, check and limp after he played a shit pass or missed a shot.

Is Jordan Pickford quirky? I thought he's just a knob.

The quirk is that every time he’s made a save and knows the camera is going to be on him he goes for a silly grimace or shouting at someone to show everyone how he’s either cheeky or super cool.

Ozil would turn into the invisible man every time his team needed him to put in a shift.

Sterling's impersonates a t-rex when he runs.

Rooney commonly said "feck off!" When he hit the ball off target.

Ronaldo stares into the distance after missing a chance.

The top one is a perpetual myth and belongs in the 'Things you believe in football that aren't actually true' category.

Ozil was always a player who covered the most ground, put in the most sprints, touched the ball the most etc during games at Arsenal.

As for player quirks, Henderson's gait and running style has to be up there.
 
McTominay's jog and half hop to change direction when he's attempting to defend and the ball gets passed in a different direction - a minimum of 5 yards away from the opponent in possession without ever challenging for the ball.

Happy or sad he looks like his mum has just told him he's going to Disneyland but took him to the dentist instead.
 
Heung Min Son crying after he's intentionally kicked someone
 
Jordan Henderson once did this really funny thing where he pretended to care about people in the LGBT community but it turned out he didn’t give a sh*t and much preferred endless truck loads of money. Quirky.
