Humour: 7 football players who would make great super villains

Voldemort will always be one of the greatest super villains in pop culture

2. Luis Suarez as Hannibal Lecter

Anthony Hopkins starred as Dr. Hannibal Lecter in ‘Silence of the Lambs’

Luis Suarez is an exceptional striker. Unfortunately for him, his history, the one where he bites his opponents, will always cast a shadow on his achievements. And the fact he’s done it thrice just makes it worse. He bit Otman Bakkal when he played for Ajax in 2010.

Then, in 2013 he sunk his teeth into Branislav Ivanovic and got suspended for 10 games and finally, during the 2014 FIFA World Cup he bit Giorgio Chiellini. Given his propensity, he would make the perfect Hannibal Lecter.

Hannibal is a fascinating study in human psychology, and whether it’s the books, movies or the latest TV series you’re thinking of, the one thing that stands out is the doctor's cannibalism. He is famous in popular culture for his preferences in food and who better to emulate him (but not really) than the teeth gnasher himself, Luis Suarez.

His opponents might even feel a little more safe and secure if he came on the pitch wearing Lecter’s mask.
