As noted in our Sticker Sundays feature, Spurs striker Dimitar Berbatov is in fact Dracula.

Lookalikes: Diego Maradona and Sylvester Stallone

When Sylvester Stallone put in an appearance at Goodison Park before Everton's game against Reading yesterday carrying a few extra pounds than when his first Rocky film came out in 1976, there was a certain resemblance to a real-life sporting legend with his own weight problems.

Lookalikes: Eggert Magnusson and Yoda

The force should be strong with West Ham once Eggert Magnusson's takeover goes through.

Lookalikes: Felix Leiter (from Casino Royale) and Joleon Lescott

My trips to the cinema seem to provide a useful hunting ground for Lookalikes. Last night I went to see Casino Royale (it is worth the hype, by the way), and didn't come away empty handed! I present Jeffrey Wright (who plays CIA agent Felix Leiter) and Joleon Lescott...

Newcastle's form suffers as Glenn Roeder moonlights as a policeman

No wonder Newcastle are struggling this season. PC Glenn Roeder has been too busy locking up Gazza to worry about tactics, team selection and inspirational team talks. He might be dull in the world of football, but he is probably one of the most charismatic coppers ever!

For more Glenn Roeder fun-poking, check out this surreal video (not at the office mind!).

Lookalikes: Leonardo di Caprio and Scott Parker

I went to see The Departed last night (good film to catch if you are heading to the cinema any time soon). Leonardo di Caprio's character really reminded me of someone...

Lookalikes - Peter Crouch and just about any mummified Egyptian King

Mummycrouch_1The more I see the goal machine that is Peter Crouchistuta the more I convince myself that he's actually a thousand year old Pharaoh. His withered limbs, the skin stretched taught across his bones... and those exposed teeth. That may go some way to his ability on the ball... he's got the power of Ibis, Anubis and Ra on his side hasn't he?

West Ham's Carlos Tevez is Carlos the Jackal (Black Grape stylee)

Tevez_8If you fancy a bit of a football-related chuckle - and you have already read all the posts on Pies and Bratwurst several times on the day in question - then the Guardian's array of Photoshop mock-ups in The Gallery rarely disappoints.

This week readers have been providing their interpretations of Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano's move to West Ham. I particularly like the entry comparing Tevez to Carlos the Jackal on the sleeve of Black Grape's debut album (pictured above). Click here to see some of the best.

Lookalikes: El-Hadji Diouf vs Pharrell Williams

Trendlog_5El_hadji_dioufgm2_1 Bolton Wanderers' king of bling versus hip-hop's king of bling. One spits rhymes and the other… well, he just spits.

Can you tell the difference?

Was Alan Shearer in Coronation Street?

Not_shearer_2 The rumours earlier this week were that Alan Shearer was ready to give up his burgeoning media career and move into football management. That was before we knew about his big break though! It seems Super Al landed a part as an extra in Coronation Street earlier this week (as spotted by the excellent Corrie Blog) And with his singing career taking off too, coaching could be on the back-burner again.

Lookalike: Carlos Tevez & Anthony Kiedis

6025_kiedis66659663 Tevezint6f17_1 West Ham's Carlos Tevez – have you any idea how weird it is to type that! – looks to my eyes a bit like a pocket-sized Anthony Kiedis (Red Hot Chili Peppers front-man, if you didn't already know).

West Ham's Carlos Tevez – yep, still feels bloody weird… (No offence meant to Hammers fans – it's just, you know, Upton Park was not exactly where I expected Tevez to end up.)

Separated at transfer window: Steven Gerrard and Neil Mellor

Gerrard_and_mellorJust like Siamese twins, Liverpool lookalikes Steven Gerrard and Neil Mellor have been separated. The operation to separate the pair was performed ahead of the end of the transfer window by Preston North End boss Paul Simpson who has snapped up 23-year-old Mellor for an undisclosed fee on a three-year contract.

Robin van Persie, the Drumstick Kid

Canada-based Pies reader Dan O'Leary used his mobile to snap this picture, which clearly shows Robin van Persie moonlighting as the face of Nestle Drumsticks ('a bit like a Cornetto,' Dan tells us). Does Arsene Wenger know?

Ever needed a Jose Mourinho at your party? Get a lookalike!

Jose_mourinholeon_yianniHave you ever needed someone to turn up at your party and be surly with everyone, and complain about how the jelly was officiated? Well, thankfully, Susan Scott Lookalikes have got just the thing for you. A lookalike of 'The Special One', Jose Mourinho. Leon Yianni (pictured) can turn up at your event... and... well... just stand around looking a bit like Jose. Don't fancy the Chelsea boss? How about Des Lynam? He could chat all the ladies up for you. Failing that you could have the appalling excuse for Terry Venables and ask him why he looked so lost (like a confused old man) in the dug out last night.

Are Peter Reid and Joe Pesci the same person? F**k yes

This video puts me in mind of Peter Reid and that fly-on-the-wall Sunderland documentary, when every other word uttered began with f and ended in k. Peter Reid is obviously the Joe Pesci of British football – and if that isn't a gratuitous reason to post a Scorsese clip on a football blog, I don't know what is.
