Ugliest footballers

[ledge]

Not a nice post but somewhere along the line we have all mentioned certain players are not the best looking.
I believe i read somewhere that Cameron Ling made the top ten in sexiest footballers, now i always have a flashback to the original Wizard of OZ and that lion when i see him.
I did mention Templeton in another post.
Maybe we could put together an opposite top ten the not the most handsome list.
Ok who am i to judge, but just wondering if anyone really stuck out in our minds over the years.

And the haircut improves him!

Gary 'Buddha' Hocking. Remember him coming into a take away venue opposite Kardinia Park for a roast pack one night so I've seen first hand.

Templeton wouldn't collect second prize in a beauty contest playing monopoly but you've already mentioned him.

Neville Bruns was a shocker as was Robert Neil both red-haired Geelong players of the early 80s, IMO Cameron Ling carries on that tradition.

Justin Madden wasn't far behind them.

[ledge]

Might be a pre requisite to play for Geelong, must have at least one terribly ugly redhead in the side at all times

[1eyedog]

I love him, but Danny Southern would turn a Gorgon to stone.

[ledge]

Peveril?

[Rach]

Fraser Gerhig (sp?) from St Kilda is pretty ugly

[Sockeye Salmon]

Craig Lambert couldn't get a date to the Brownlow.

With the nickname cyclops im gathering he isnt the best looking close up.

I know. I once heard a story where he threw a heap of petrol onto a campfire in the Grampians one year and burnt them off and that's why they grew back so thick, very likely an urban myth, bit like the Grampians puma;)

Bulldog Murray wouldn't relate to the modern, pink polo shirt popped coller wearing, "funky"(TM) pub owning footballer.

Micky Martin isn't a pretty boy either.

Robert Murphy has an ET like look about him.

The whole Daniher clan!

Anthony was a shocker, inside out head. As you can see I'm trying to kill time before the Dogs come on, getting nervous.

[ledge]

Chris Judd a head like a used bowling ball.

Off topic, but ah, good old Ripper Roasts!

Um, yeah look, i'm gonna have to go with Peverill for this one.
Also Riewoldt, every time I see him i'm reminded of an albino alpaca!

[LostDoggy]

This is horrible, but i'ver seriously come up with a list in my head now!

The Ablett family.
Barry Hall.
Gehrig. Make it the majority of the St Kilda team (Excluding Dal Santo, of course;))
Jake King.

I could go on, but I think i've been cruel enough!

The King
----------

When it comes to speaking
Of footy’s ugliest mugs
There really is no shortage
Of some pugnacious thugs

Or some good honest triers
Whose looks have gone quite errant
Even some quite crackin’ players
With unfortunately mismatchin' parents

Lest we still our mocking,
Of the Rough, the Tough, the Ugly,
Let’s start with Buddha Hocking
Whom we’ll call “the-Fugly”.

The Danihers were Conifers
Richo’s head’s a pillow
Danny Southern’s tempestuous locks
Makes Jacko almost (but not quite) yumm-o

Gary Ablett looks a muppett,
Father’s like his son(s)
Dermie’s hair gets caught on carpets,
Walks like he’s got the run(s)

Bradshaw’s head’s shaped
Like a brick;
And verily anaemic,
is merry Old Saint Nick.

Coxy’s often poxy
And Cooney’s quite impugny;
McPhee's cert'nly no beauty
And Foley is a moley.

Fevola’s a Corolla
That’s backed into a ute;
Platten’s a first-run Barina,
Our E.J. was no beaut

Eagle’s bald
And Granty’s Auld
And Johnno is no Smithy,

Jezza was a mess-a
And Big Bad Bazza –
Well, the less said of the better;

But when all is said and done,
When all is done and dusted,
With all the final ballots finished
When all the votes are counted,

Then will the fat lady rise to sing
“The King,” she says to all,
“The King” she sings, “is Ling! Is Ling!”
The King, she sings, is Ling!

[ledge]

Very well done Lantern you obviously study boofheads.

[camwoof]

Josh Thurgood who was on Hawthorn's list was not the prettiest footballer getting around.

[always right]

McPhee almost has bolts coming out of his neck...as does Roughhead.

I recall Alan Daniels being descibed as having "a face like a crumbling brick". Always liked that one.:D

Ha ha

Shane Loveless.

[Tugun Goalsneak]

What about Sav Rocca? He was so ugly that when he was born the doctor slapped his mother!

[ledge]

Wonder if Laurie Sandilands will get a mention, seem to be going the tall good marking players, what you think Tugun?

Laurie Sandilands was best described as "Ruggedly handsome" To imply that he was in any way ugly would be to describe the whole Western Suburbs population as Ugly - You brute! What he may have lacked in Facial symmetry he made up for in classical elbows to opponents groins, backhanders to their jaws, knees to their buttocks etc. How could he EVER be considered less than poetry in motion?

Ian Williams/ Brad Hardy from the Dogs

Sav Rocca was mentioned before but it is unfair to not mention Anthony as he should be on this list too.

Bruce Doull should also get a mention

Like a bad limerick, I reckon! LOL

I knew him a bit when I was a young bloke - Laurie had a head like a robber's dog (especially when he was standing next to me!). Sincerely hope he's improved with age (like me):D!!
