Top 10 Ugliest Players in the Premier League
Seeing an ugly footballer with a stunning blonde always puts me in mind of Mrs Merton's classic one-liner to Debbie McGee: 'So, Debbie, what first attracted you to millionaire Paul Daniels?' It's a sad fact of life that not all famous people are blindingly attractive.
Anyway, after extensive research, we can reveal that the Top 10 Ugliest Players in the Premier League are:
Top 10 Ugliest Players in the Premier League continued…
10 Edwin van der Sar Man U's Dutch keeper has a face that puts me in mind of Lurch, The Addams Family's lanky butler.
9 Pascal Cygan The bald Frenchman looks like Kryten from Red Dwarf. He's not as good a defender as Kryten, but, hey, you can't have it all.
8 Lee Hendrie Would feel right at home in Royston Vasey.
7 Francis Jeffers Wrong-faced Scouse chav. His neck's too long, his eyes are too small and his ears stick out. Apart from that, he looks fine.
6 Nemanja Vidic Looks like he's been 12 rounds with Mike Tyson (or Duncan Ferguson).
5 Wayne Rooney Everyone's favourite ogre.
4 Phil/Gary Neville Faces somehow got mixed up at birth.
3 Ivan Campo Acceptable hair/face for a rock band (doesn't he look like The Strokes' Albert Hammond?), but not for a modern footballer.
2 Jimmy Bullard I've never employed a chimney sweep, but if I did, I'd fully expect him to look like Jimmy Bullard.
1 Peter Crouch The new king of ugly footballers.
Who have we missed? Get in touch and let us know. More ugly footballers here.

Peter Crouch is "Munch" from Two Pint of Lager.

A bit harsh on the boy Jimmy I think. Admittedly he does have a funny look about him, but is he really worse than Craig Bellamy or Marlon Harewood??

When Ivan Campo's stunning mug popped up in third, I lost it.
Huth and Carvalho are not pretty men either.

I know he didn't make it to England this summer, but how about Franck Ribery?

Nah, you're wrong, sorry. Crouch is the hottest!
Ugliest: Rooney & Ronaldo.
