Cartoon look-alikes in football : Part I

Gareth Southgate and Butthead

Talk sense? What’s that?

No, Butthead is not what viewers called Southgate after they listened to him talk on TV. Though universal consensus has been reached that they would rather have Beavis and Butthead talk than Southgate and Townsend on ITV.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Astroboy

One fights injustice, the other complains of it

Let’s face it. Both are annoying on the telly, both have a less-than-amicable facial expression, both are the best in what they do, and both have superpowers. It would really not be a surprise if they discovered that Cristiano Ronaldo were an android. That explains the crazy flip flops and stepovers.
