Just for a bit of fun, I stole the idea from a discussion on the 'football 365' thread below.
When you play football, whether it's 5-a-side, sunday league, or even just a kick about with mates, which 'top flight' football would you compare yourself to, in terms of 'style of play'. I'm not saying that we're at the same level as these players by the way - before you all go saying 'I'm just like Messi'.
So I'll start:
I think my closest comparison is big Tommy Hudd. I'm quite a big guy (I'm not saying I'm a big fatty and that's why I've picked Tommy before anyone says it), so can be quite a nuisance - strong on the ball etc. I'm fairly useful in the tackle, occasionally crop up with a thunderous shot, but passing is my game - I'm always looking to pick out the perfect pass, and just occasionally nail an absolute belter of a long pass.
So I'm like a much, much less skillful Hudd.
Go!
which player are you most like?

Messi
Nah more like a Jay Spearing...
Not the best at football, not the best looking!
But give 100% every match with a good tackle

Probab;ly try and play like either Ramos/Alves...bombing forward screaming for passes and moaning at the midfielders in the same breath. Either that or the 'modified-Scholes (usually employed when hungover) where you shout for 2 yard passes then spray the ball forward shaking your head when nobody gets on the end.

Play for my school team (B team :P). I'm would say I'm a very less skillful version of Bale. I have quite a lot of pace (no arrogance intended but get to 100m finals every year so far) and can usually get past others on my day. I can also tackle fairly well and I'm a hard worker. And that sounded like a buisness speech :P

thanks for any responses, that ruddy Modric news came along and usurped my wonderful idea in this thread!
So far though, between us, we already have quite a team:
Huddlestone, Spearing, Ramos and Bale!

i would say i'm probably most like jenas.
good on the ball,box to box,more than decent in the tackle(me,not him)pop up with the odd goal.
but only really play at my best for say,8/9 games a season,never quite fullfiling my potential.

I see myself as a bit of a Kranjcar. Give me the ball and ill perform magic but do not expect me to do much without the ball at my feet. I am not very fast but i don't need to be when i have the vision to pick out a pass or the top corner of the goal.
Oh, i too am a fetching looking specimen
