Players are becoming more and more homogeneous. Shirts are tucked in, hair is cut by Vidal Sasson and beards are trimmed to perfection. They all look the same. Where have all the scruffy players gone? The players not looking for the next sponsorship contract with Top Man. Here are my top five scruffy(shabby, untidy) players:-
1. Neville Southall (Everton) - top class goalkeeper who always looked like he had already played a full game before kick off. Found mud when there was none to be found. Made a very memorable save at White Hart Lane in the 1980s.
2. John Robertson (Nottingham Forest) - Scottish international, who scored the only goal in the 1980 European Cup Final, on the way to the newsagents to pick up the Racing Post and a few ciggies.
3. Lionel Messi (Barcelona) - The style gurus have visited Messi in the last few months, but don't be fooled. Deep down he doesn't care how he looks, he just wants to play.
4. Gennaro Gattuso (AC Milan) - the snarler always looks like an extra from the Godfather; only scarier.
5. Jimmy Bullard (ex-Wigan) - the ex-painter and decorator has the appearance of someone who has just finished stripping wallpaper.
