Sometimes the term ‘beautiful game’ sounds crazy when you see certain players. These footballers have one thing in common – they probably never needed any Halloween costumes. Here’s counting down the top ten ugliest/craziest looking footballers of our time.
10. Mikael Silvestre
With the head of Theirry Henry and the face of an Indian Rohu fish, this defender makes his grand entry at our list at number 10. Always playing his role as a substitute for Fergie, it raised the eyebrows of many when Arsene Wenger signed him for Arsenal.
Word of Advice: Do get deceived by his looks. His defending was no better.
9. Iain Dowie
No, he is not related to Dirk Kyut in any way, and neither he is any sloth trying to feed himself off a branch. Iain Dowie was in fact a strong, traditional centre forward featuring for West Ham, Southampton etc.
8. Gervinho
You may find an entire spaceship if you cut his hair, judging by that forehead of his. Pecuiliar, funny and shinning – gervinho’s forehead catapults him to our number 8th position of our list.
7. Charlie Adam
Keep your kids away, when he will smile. An entire truck might pass through his front teeth. Now that’s some pretty bad teeth for that kind of wage. Liverpool‘s left-footed midfielder bombs his way through the black hole inside his mouth to make into our list.
6. Wayne Rooney
With three superhit Shrek movies to his name, Wayne Rooney inevitably joins our ugly gang list. With currently more hair on his head, this Manchester United‘s striker also made his acting debut for the Shrek franchise. Or did he??
5. Trifon Ivanov
It’s getting serious, and it’s time for our top five. There he is, standing gallantly at number five is our very own Werewolf, Trifon Ivanov. Dubbed ‘The Bulgarian Wolf’, this midfielder was loved for his hairy, overgrown beard and mullet-style hairdo.
4. Robert Earnshaw
Yeah. You saw it right. That’s his head. Period.
3. Carlos Tevez
You need to be something special to be in top three and the Argentine superstar has got everything. Dismembered face, broken teeth, alienated neck. If you’re a defender, it’s your choice – either save your life or save a goal.
2. Joleon Lescott
This England International cements his spot at number two with some outrageous and crazy costume that he wears everytime, when he plays. Err.. that ain’t no costume, ain’t it?
1. Franck Ribery
This guy has got it all. From yellow teeth to battle scars when he fought with the alligator and drank it’s blood. Silky on the ball, and goric otherwise; this Bayern midfielder completes and heads our list of top ten footballers right off a horror movie.
Honourable mentions:
-Raul meireles’ hairdo and tattoos
-Sagna’s colourful hair
-Ronaldinho’s smile
