Former Celtic trialist Ljuban Crepulja looks like Lionel Messi.

And, of course, young Irishman Barry Cotter looks uncannily like Neymar.

How is it possible that this man…

Could have ever looked like this youngster?

People are complaining that Big Sam lacks style. Well, we’re here to tell you that he oozes not just style but Styles. That’s at least twice as much.

With the former boy wonder leading out the national team at Wembley, England can only go in one direction (sorry (not really)).
