10 Footballers Who Would Look Better with Roy Keane's Beard
Roy Keane has a massive beard now. Aston Villa are doing really well this season. Coincidence?
Clearly, the Irishman's facial fuzz is spurring the Midlands side to victory, leading one fan to envisage the team with Keane beards.
This got me thinking: Which other world football stars would look better with Keane's mighty salt and pepper whiskers? The results are as follows...
Dimitar Berbatov
1 of 10
Is it Billy Joel? Is it a stereotypical terrorist from an episode of 24? Nope, it's The Berba with some fantastic face fur.
Oscar
2 of 10
Oscar may be 23-years-old, but his baby face means he is unlikely to get served at the bar without ID.
The Chelsea starlet looks a lot less like a 12-year-old with a bit of Keane on his visage.
Mario Balotelli and Martin Skrtel
3 of 10
It's often said that Mario Balotelli needs a little wisdom and maturity on his shoulders, and a Keane beard certainly makes him seem infinitely smarter.
Martin Skrtel, meanwhile, would do well in a Raul Meireles look-alike contest.
Nicklas Bendtner
4 of 10
We all know there's no real way to improve Nicklas Bendtner: He's perfect in every way. (Well, except for football skills.) However, the Danish striker can certainly pull off a Keane-o.
Radamel Falcao
5 of 10
Manchester United's prized loan striker always looks as if he has stepped straight out of a shampoo advert. It seems unlikely he would ever grow an unkempt bush on his face, but it certainly gives him more alpha male points.
David Luiz
6 of 10
On and off the field, David Luiz usually bounds around the place like an overexcited puppy. A nice Keane beard lends the Brazilian an air of gravitas, and channels his countryman Socrates.
Mesut Ozil
7 of 10
Would Arsene Wenger play Mesut Ozil in his desired No. 10 role if he had a Keane beard? Of course he would—you don't misuse a man with authoritative facial hair like that.
Cristiano Ronaldo
8 of 10
The only body hair that Cristiano Ronaldo will tolerate is on his head and above his eyes—the rest of him is smooth like a Ken doll.
However, the Portuguese megastar does look quite distinguished with a Keane beard. It suits him like it suits middle-aged George Clooney.
David Silva
9 of 10
Manchester City star David Silva is known by the name "Merlin" thanks to the magic in his feet. With a Keane beard, the Spaniard certainly looks a lot more like a wizard.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
10 of 10
With his adonis torso, long hair, impossible physicality and tendency to only refer to himself in the third person, The Mighty Zlatan Ibrahimovic clearly believes himself to be a demi-god. He would give Zeus a run for his money with a full-on Keane beard.
