Wayne Rooney has just been elected the ugliest player in the world, at least according to 33% of the 2,500 women polled by www.thepeoplesclub.com. “Shrek” (as the Man Utd striker is affectionately, or not-so-affectionately rather, nicknamed) is however judged to be the perfect mate for girlfriend (and soon-to-be wife) Coleen McLoughlin, the latter indeed not being typical smokin’ hot WAG material (à la Abbey Clancy or Danielle Lloyd), even though her business skills are largely superior to her much sexier colleagues.
But going back to our “Ugly Top 20″ ranking, Wayne Rooney is indeed topping the list and beating footy champions of the caliber of Ronaldinho and Carlos Tevez. While the soccer skills of the top trio certainly aren’t being questioned, the feminine population that was sampled might have very different things to say about their looks. I guess the “cartoonish face and bunny smile” of the Barcelona playmaker, and the rough facial expression of the Man Utd striker (nicknamed “Apache”) aren’t appreciated at their just value?
Completing the list, we find Liverpool striker Peter Crouch at nº4 (the boyfriend of aforementioned sex-bomb Abigail Clancy, the couple earning the nickname of “Beauty and the Beast” by the English tabloids) and AC Milan’s Ronaldo at nº5 (whose constant changes of hairstyle and castor-like teeth don’t make him much of a fan-favorite).
“The survey shows that money can’t buy you looks” said Carl Christensen, spokesperson of the ThePeoplesclub website, in an interview to the Daily Star. “But money sure does help an ordinary guy get a good-looking girl. You have to look no further than Peter Crouch and Abbey Clancy” Christensen concluded. In fact, that theory is so close to the truth that 1/5 of the surveyed women said they are “totally ready to go out with any of these ‘uglies’“, given their pro soccer player status (and the cushy bank account that comes with it).
One final statistic: by looking at the 20 names that make up this ranking, we find ONE player from the Serie A (AC Milan’s Ronaldo), TWO from the Spanish Liga (Ronaldinho and Van Nistelrooy), and SEVEN players from Manchester United (thus officially making the Red Devils the “ugliest team in the world”). Then again, this survey was conducted in Britain so it’s normal to see a lot of local players featured here.
Here’s the final Top 20. What do you think? Did we forget anyone?

Guys, you should take a look at the Bundesliga or at least Bayern München! Take Bastian Schweinsteiger or Fanck Ribery … okay, Ribery had an accident, anyway.
P.s.: Peter Crouch is much more ugly than dwarf Rooney.
Where are the German players?
Incidentally, here’s a ‘Top 17 Uglies’ list made in Switzerland. Frank Ribéry and Oliver Kahn make the podium.
Thanks to Floki for pointing it out.

1.John Terry
2.Didier Drogba
3.Frank Lampard
4.Micheal Ballack

Micahel Ballack and Lampard and Drogba you mean they are the coolest right .
These guys are fool and don’t see good why not we make the right list of top 20 or 30 ugliest soccer players.

Tarek-Kadoura@Hotmail.com after we put 20 or 30 or what ever we’ll discuss them then post them.

C’mon dude, u cant include Van nistelrooy and Van der sar in the list, I agree that, they are not the coolest soccer player but they cant be in the list. Yea,,wayne rooney and Gary Neville is ugly but not the Ugliest. Where is Frank Ribery??? M sure everyone wud agree with me that,he could be the Ugliest soccer player ever. And why not u include Drogba, Essien,C.Puyol, kalou, Terry, and Robie Keane. Keane has got the biggest face and cant carry his chin well while on the pitch. I think, this is absolutely some kind of consparicy to offned ManUtd’s Fan. I do belive that, Manutd have got some Ugly players but the fact is, no other team is in the postion to beat them. Manutd stands at the top of the league table and are placed in very gud position in other two tournaments. Keep on Barking and give ur best shots to offend Manutd Fans…..And who ever hav compiled this and sees Frank Ribery as the coolest lad,,,,U need to go see doctor. I can only imagine how serious is ur Eye problem.
I definately would include Oliver Neuville in the TOP 10!
Where is BENAYOUN !!!
have you guys ever heard about Jiri Nemec, the czech soccer player from Schalke 04 in the 90s!?…thats the real No.1!!!!!
u forgot RIBERY
Schweinsteiger is definitely not ugly. Who said that?
wheres forlan?
WTF WHY IS VAN NISTLEROOY THERE!!!
He is pretty hot!
how dare Ronaldo be number 5
You are missing puyol.
why arent there any African in this competition?
This would be interesting.
robben?
