Premiership - The Movie!

This a jokey football related thread, so run away screaming now.

For those into the beautiful game, I often play a silly quiz with mates called 'Premiership - The Movie!' in which we try to cast Hollywood actors in the roles of current Premiership footballers and managers.

So far, we have -

Wayne Rooney - Shrek
Sam Alladryce - Meatloaf
Cesc Fabregas - Sylar from Heroes
Alex Ferguson - that bloke who played Taggart (RIP)

Just wondering if you have any likely casting choices?

(I fully expect no one to contribute to this thread, but if you do, then Gawd bless ya.)

It's been said before but Big Phil Scolari should be played by Gene Hackman. Unfortunately Scolari isn't in the premiership any more.

I've often thought David Moyes has got a touch of Steve McQueen about him.

Hugh Laurie is Phil Brown.

The great David Moyes looks more like Steve Buscemi, or even Gollum.

Moyes just looks like a frog.

Or Johnny 5 from Short Circuit.

On a side note. Fat Sam always looks like he smells of farts. And both Joe Kinnear and Steve Bruce look like old lesbians.

And . . .

Can you tell which is which?

(I've just hijacked this thread and turned it into funny lookalikes, sorry!)

Vinnie Jones is Vinnie Jones.

Andy O'Brien -- Dustin Diamond
Edwin Van Der Sar -- Joe Cornish
Eboue -- that bloke who played Michael Gallant in ER
Geremi -- Mekhi Phifer (Doug Pratt in ER)
Michael Ballack -- Matt Damon!
Pepe Reina -- Stanley Tucci
Peter Crouch -- Stephen Merchant

Harry Rednapp.

Being a lover of the game myself I feel I must chip in:

John O'Shea - Peter kay
Gary Neville - Super Hans
Albert Riera - A Gerry Anderson villain (can't recall which)
Milan Baros - Dave Hill from Slade
Roy Keane - Iranian leader..
Darren Bent - Kris Akabusi

Iain Dowie -- that flukeworm/man thing from an early X-File

Steve Bruce used to look like Bernard Cribbins, but then he got his nose all bent out of shape. By the way, is it true that Ian Wright was the person that did the damage to Bruce's nose?

Manuel Almunia-Eddie Izzard.

I think he's broken it eight times, so it's statistically likely.

Back to lookalikes, Mark Hughes looks like an owl. You'll just have to find one that acts.
