Footballers are often stereotyped at outgoing, party-animals who live life in the fast lane.
But at the end of the day, the game is just what they’re good at. To some of them, it’s just a job. Just because they game they play is fast-paced, doesn’t mean their personality is the same.
In fact, there are some players who are just damn-right dull. Not very exciting at all, and we’ve put a list of them together.
Here are 10 of the dullest men in football out there right now.
His favourite hobby other than football is building thing out of lego. No, I didn’t make that up.
“I am a bit boring,” he has confessed. “I stay in and watch TV.”
He recently bought his neighbours house because they were too noisy for his liking. What a party-pooper.
The facial expression he’s pulling in this picture is actually the most interesting he’s ever pulled.
His commentary is just awful, sorry Phil, but your brother is better at the same job.
I HATE BT SPORT FOR HIRING THIS MAN.
He’s a massive fan of Bingo apparently, and for that, on the list you go Cristiano.
Most players paint the town red after a title triumph; Alan Shearer painted a fence. Literally, he painted a fence. The Geordie was asked how he had celebrated the achievement with Blackburn and revealed that, the morning after, he had helped his father-in-law creosote some wood.
Zlatan Ibrahmovic famously likened Barcelona’s clean-cut, well-behaved players to “schoolboys”, particularly midfield legend Xavi.
The man was OBSESSED with staying fit. Once, upon realising that there was no gym in the Istanbul hotel in which he was staying, he used his wife as a barbell. Worse still, he went for a run before the reception on his wedding day!
