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

Jan Moltby
Tony Higgins
Modric. Always think he looks like a guy who'd struggle to kick a ball.
But what a player. Love that.
Benny
Pat Nevin
Charlie Adam and Jan Koller
Carlton Palmer
Ed de Goey
Crouch....
....and a certain Conrad Logan.
Harry mckirdy
Dave McPherson, Huns and Jambos…….. possibly the most unlikely and awkward footballer I’ve ever seen.
Anyone in maroon :greengrin
Carter-Vickers looks like a middle/light heavyweight boxer.
As does Rocky 👍Quote:

Ally Scott. Always remember a disgruntled Hibby shouting at him that he ran like Max Wall[emoji16]

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.
Messi,looks like the wee guy that would be last pick when picking sides.
You're Gordon Strachan and I claim my prize!Quote:

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?" 🤣Quote:

Ted McMinn that the auld yins will remember.
Drey wright looked like he won a competition to play, and played like that too.
Colin Jackson
Made a good career of it by being *****, wouldnt mind swapping places with himQuote:

Scored one of my favourite goals against the huns though, but he did look a bit Red Dragon type serial killer.Quote:

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.
Archie Gemmill...
Claudio Gentile a mafia hitman
All goalkeepers
Willo Flood, looked like the love child of ET and Gollum.
He is a living fossil of a guy.Quote:

Although not a footballer, footballing journalist Graham Spiers! I don't know why he and his posh Scottish accent got put on TV/radio for Scottish football. He would be more suited to rugby or cricket.
Adama Traore, looks more like a weight lifter than a footballer.
Laurence Shankland. Is he a footballer?
Davie dodds don't know what he looked like.

Great shout both, very much from a time when I was at more than a few games. Would still pay money to see them both take a free kick.Quote:

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

Nowt personal, loved the guy to bits, particularly in a Hibs and Scotland jersey.
My pick too.Quote:

Not a player but a manager - Gareth Ainsworth.
Nade or Zeefuik for them, Harper for us.

Souter at Hearts, looks like pub player.
He has been with the rangers for 3 yearsQuote:

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
