Players who dont look like footbalers.

[blackpoolhibs]

I know he's a world cup winner, but the Chelsea full back who plays for Spain Cucurella, just does not look like a footballer to me, even though he clearly is, I cant take him seriously.:greengrin

Any others? :greengrin

Controversial one here. Lewis Stevenson when he broke out at hibs looked like an enter shikari fan rather than a footballer. I am sure he got ripped by his team mates for his taste on music over the years.

Arrived slightly late to my mates flat in Kilburn for the Utd semi. He told me about this Conrad Logan guy in goal. First sighting I literally spat my beer out and shouted "who the f is this guy?" 🤣

Jeroen Verhoeven, Dutch keeper form the 2000s, was at Ajax for a bit. Made Conrad Logan look malnourished.

Also Iniesta looked like a 55 year old when he was in his early 20s. If he walked past me in the street I'd be more likely to think he was going to ask me to sign up for monthly donations to an animal charity or sell me an IT package rather than believing he scored the winner in a world cup final and was the best midfielder of his generation.

Mind Ally scoring one and getting told to retake it so he did and scored again.

He was what a Hibs player should be[emoji23] Happy days.

Eclipsed only by Sir Bobby's footballing brilliance but when it came to keeping the combover going with nothing but a rake and a tin of yacht varnish he couldn't match Ralph.

From a previous era, two all-time greats:

Ferenc Puskás, his size and rotund shape belied his greatness. eight-four goals in eight-five international matches.

Garrincha, born disabled with a curved spine. His left leg was 6cms shorter than his right one. His right leg bent outwards while his left leg bent inwards.

Another shout for John Robertson of Forest who was a pretty unlikely looking footballer but nevertheless a complete magician on the ball. I once remember Clough referring to him as 'our corpulent outside-left'. :greengrin

For Shankland and Griffiths the phrase "sniper's dream" comes to mind - although to be fair, both have been seriously potent marksmen in their own right.

If you asked me what they both look like though - I would say the ******* offspring of a Mekon out of Dan Dare (pictorial evidence attached ......
