Is Jack Colback the least glamorous footballer in the Premier League?

oi, oi mate, mate. listen yeah thing is i'm trying to get enough money for a bus to the europa cup final i'm playing in, can i have 20p?... alright, have a good night anyway yeah

impt cross cultural understanding opportunity in hoops land, lads
so not baller

uh if u want the top of the thread
so not baller

small squad sizes militate against this, also the fact half of basketball players like> 6'7 230lbs which makes it hard for them to be unpropossessing

nfl is better cuz there are all of those people who get cut in pre-season for three years running then manage to get a short term contract and do maybe one or two things in their entire career that causes them to be identified individually

you're not supposed to mention clint hill without shaun derry

skimming through this it seems that adam le fondre is the least glam epl player of the month winner since marcus bent in 2002 at the very latest

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premier_League_Player_of_the_Month

April 	1997 	 Ireland 	Mickey Evans 	Southampton 	FW 	[13]

don't even know who that is

hahaha i totally forgot we won two in a row

summer 2005, greatest ashes series, me packed off to uni, it all promised so much

that was during a barely plausible stretch of 18 months with only one non-english winner, a whole series of vermin like nolan, bent, twp, terry etc

they seem to be more honest now cuz there wasn't a single english winner last year

Anton fucking Ferdinand!!

In October 2006, Ferdinand was arrested on assault charges following a fracas outside a nightclub in Ilford. He was charged in November 2006.[32] He appeared at Snaresbrook Crown Court on 12 November 2007 charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and affray, arising from this incident. It was alleged that Ferdinand had punched Emile Walker. In his defence, Ferdinand said he had feared he was going to be robbed of his £64,000 watch and was defending himself.[33] On 20 November 2007, Ferdinand was acquitted as the jury accepted he was acting in self-defence.[34]

The 23-year-old West Ham centre-back is expected to complete the £8m transfer today after yesterday's medical and Keane was happy to give an insight into how he persuaded his ninth signing of the summer to move to the Stadium of Light.

"There is no reason why he can't go on and become a top, top player. I think he has an international future," said Sunderland's manager. "He has played over 150 games and we're on about players with a bit of experience so, for all his rawness, he has a few games under his belt. He knows the Premiership, he is English, it's a good price, so it suits everyone.

MICKEY EVANS! Ah, one of my favourite Saints players for a time given his knack of scoring by shoving his forehead right into the firing line. I fondly recall one goal (not sure against who, possibly West Ham? Think Miklosko was in goal) which was him nodding in a corner from maybe two yards, then crashing into the post. Then Miklosko goes into the post. And then Mickey (impervious to goalposts) heads off to celebrate with the team, but Francis Benali runs into the post while trying to join in.

I'm fairly sure I'm not making this up.

(There are so many ex-Saints players who'd be all-timers on this thread, probably none more than Simon Charlton)

In May 2012, he appeared for and captained the Sealand national football team in a match against the Chagos Islands. The match was held at the grounds of Godalming Town.[13]

February 2004 Brazil Edu† Arsenal MF [23]
March 2004 Finland Mikael Forssell Birmingham City FW [23]

I cannot remember what happened in football during these two months, but... hmm.

Scoring for fun iirc

edu was a fine player, forssell was hyped a lot in his chelsea days but i never realized he scored 17 epl goals for birmingham that season

Edu's penchant for scoring important goals covered a pretty average player who only gained any consistency on his way out the door iirc

Forssell was lethal as a 17-8 year old, he was the new solskjaer but from 20 yards

Alex Manninger!

"Manninger ably covered for him, enjoying a spell of six clean sheets in a row in the league, a joint club record. The last of these was against Manchester United at Old Trafford, where Arsenal won 1–0. In March 1998, he was named Premier League Player of the Month"

He was great during that whole title run-in iirc.

That 2003-04 season was the first year of Abramovich madness, when they signed Crespo and Mutu. Then sent Forssell out to Birmingham where he comfortably outscored every Chelsea player. Happy times.

He was the Lukaku of his day. Oh look, Veron!

2001-present day LFC's only winners Gerrard and Torres. Suarez wants to up his game, even Danny Murphy has had better months than him.

Odemwingie's won this 3 times! No wonder he wants a pay rise.

Jack Colback has orange boots. I am confused.

Joey O'Brien

just realized he isn't andy o'brien's brother

Yerman who scored for wba today

gave good interview after the game imo

Ben Watson (footballer born July 1985)

lol i love how his name is so ordinary that not only does it have to be disambiguated by year but by month too

Sunderland midfielder Jack Colback has rejected the offer of a contract extension, meaning the 23-year old – who has a year left on his current deal – now likely to be sold in the summer to avoid the possibility of him leaving on a free.

upping his glam factor

loool at change image in op

unless... that was always there and i never noticed

I read through WBS's original post and thought "Aaron Hughes, never heard of him", then scrolled down a bit further to see that I'd posted "Aaron Hughes, never heard of him". I'll be back on the opening day of the season with the same thought.

Jonathan Wilson ‏@jonawils 1h

Why on earth was Crystal Palace v Sunderland the 3rd most watched Prem game on US TV so far this season?

Jonathan Wilson ‏@jonawils 1h

Labour day weekend (+ Altidore + ko time) seems the most plausible explanation; Jack Colback's US fan club the least.

if jack colback is going to become the new lol emile heskey signs for real madrid retarded bantz glam/antiglam ting then maybe it's time to anoint another

hope he has a really good season as poyet gets sunderland to a resoundlingly emphatic 14th in the epl and then signs for chelsea for £5m, playing 14 games in three years and just getting abused by get involved commenters for picking up his 50 grand a week
