The freedictionary defines sweat as: To excrete perspiration through the pores in the skin; perspire.

You cannot run multiple kilometers or miles in a 90-minute match and expect anything less to happen to a player. There is no doubt that football and sweat go hand in hand.

However, some players put the bead in sweat, and there is no questioning that their are few sports in which the players can pour the sweat like football.

Both men and women professional players have their share of heavy perspires, and we take a look at them right here.

Barcelona captain Carlos Puyol is always drenched. You can blame it on the Spanish humidity of Barcelona, but I don't think that has anything to do with it.

Espanyol forward Walter Pandiani proves to be a human sweat factory as there is not a dry spot left in his button-down by the end of this press conference following his club's 1-0 victory over Getafe on September 22nd, 2011.
