    Easy

    Zinedine Zidane
    Japp Stam
    Arjen Robben
    Fabien Barthez (fits the bald criteria anyway)
    and best of all, Derby's
    Lee Carsley

    Good footballers, Fred

    ...

    Looked at my post counts on here and wondered if there were any poker sites with those sort of numbers. To my surprise, there is.
    Downloaded it and not sure I'm keen

    I'd totally forgotten about asking that question, was waiting until the break to reply. hahahaha

    Unfortunately (or fortunately) I've just lost 4 tables in 5 minutes, so I can reply now. yayyy.

    It was midnight Friday after a lot of strongbow. What was I thinking. :/

    Looks like the question was inspired by Connor Sammon.

    I was obviously struggling to think of any, and whilst typing the question I thought of Dion Dublin.

    Instead of deleting, I changed the criteria to white guys only.

    Turns out there are even more of those!

    Friday night brainfart. doh !

    Have since raised the topic on Skype, and there doubts about the baldness of Zidane? Looks pretty bald to me.

    Also a vote for Atillio Lombardo, and Andy Johnson.

    Whatever happened to Stephen Ireland btw? He had a wonder season then went to Villa. People shouldn't go to Villa. Shay Given was awesome, then he went to Villa. RIP his career.

    Look out for tonights brainteaser.

    Trying to decide between good fat fooballers and footballers with big noses.

    Prob go with noses, find big nose gags too amusing.

    Good fat footballers.....Richard Dunne.

    Big nosed footballers.....Andy O'Brian(?), ex Newcastle and Pompey I think. Assuming I have the right guy. He had a corker of a conk.

    Superman? Yeah, he had a couple of good seasons, followed by that immense season under Hughes, then he got sacked, in came Bobby Manc and the rest is history. Mancini suggested that he was mentally unstable. Suppose he had a point. Maybe Hughes can get the best out of him again at Stoke. Shame really, he was one of my favourites and on course to be a City legend before it went belly up.

    Vialli for good and bald btw?

    Not sure about baldiness. Same applies to Nicholas Anelka.

    Micky Quinn  fat and good
    Dave Mackay fat and genius

    Ibrahimovic has a prize winning conk.

    Quite a few quality players have got fat towards the end, but Andy Reid sticks out as someone who was always a bit of a porker but dream of a left foot. Neil Redfearn in that boat too I reckon (extra bouyancy aids required for that particular boat I reckon).

    Think the media went to town on him over this pretty unfairly. Ultimately, his girlfriend suffered a miscarriage, and that seemed to get lost amongst the sea of conjecture. He apparently wasn't sure that was a good enough reason to withdraw from the Ireland squad. Hence the Grandma story, and then the other Grandma story. But we've all been there where we tell a lie with good intentions, and then it spirals as you try to dig yourself out of trouble.

    Just a shame that the tabloids then had a field day with him, when if he'd just been honest from the start, who knows what situation he'd be in now. Certainly one of the most naturally gifted footballers I've ever had the pleasure to watch.

    Genius 2 boot!

    Love "well nosed"

    Have Diddi Hammann. Phil Thompson.

    Scousers obv.

    U get diff types of noses.

    Admittedly the longer ones r the best, but that's pretty standard in life innit.

    Will think on......

    Everton's Lee Carsley
    Possibly the most underrated player of the premier league era.
    Yes, he was THAT good.

    Agree

    Many people say our problems started when Mclaren went to Man United.
    For me it was selling Carsley at around the same time.
    Got £3 million for him and signed useless Seth Johnson for more money.
    Silver lining was that Dirty Leeds were stupid enough to take him off us for £9 million!

    Hey Paul

    How is wee man doing? Plenty of late night poker at the mo?:P

    Still playing live, or less so now?

    I'm thinking about playing live a bit more in the next week or too.

    Andy Reid obviously doesn't get any stick for being fat, from Derby fans, Mike :)

    Ketsbia - best/weirdest goal celebration ever?

    Mollby was a genius. Same team, John Barnes (might have become fat a bit later)

    Gazza

    Steve Bruce, nose must have been broken a fair few times.

    Franny Lee - fat and probably best football fight ever, stay with it


    Other football fights? Football hooligan films? Old ones are best for me. ID and The Firm

    ......

    Just realised. I'm Joey Kinish. Wanna be Mike McDowell
