Football lookalikes: From ‘Bruno’ as Fernando Torres and Rafa Benitez the Toy Story character, check out all the doppelgangers here

Oct 07, 2016

HAVE you ever looked at someone you clearly don’t know, but still thought ‘I recognise you’?

Everyone has a lookalike somewhere… And it’s no different with famous footballers.

Lee Chapman is one of the more famous doppelgangers of recent years

From Jamie Vardy‘s famous dead ringer, to a female John Terry we’ve seen them all.

With that in mind, SunSport runs down nine of the most outrageous doppelgangers in world football, below.

A LOT was made of Lee Chapman – aka Jamie Vardy 2.0 – last season as Leicester went on to win the league.

Chapman’s ‘fame’ led to him even being blocked on social media by the real Mr Vardy… Ouch.

FERNANDO TORRES-BRUNO

Fernando Torres was at his prime during his time at Liverpool pre-Chelsea

Bruno, played by Sacha Baron Cohen looks like a dead ringer for Mr Torres

IF you’ve seen the Sacha Baron Cohen move Bruno, you may have noticed the title character resembles a certain someone…

…That’s right former Liverpool and Chelsea man Fernando Torres. The hair, the baby-face, it’s uncanny.

KARIM BENZEMA-SHIA LABEOUF

Karim Benzema is part of Real Madrids feared forward trio — Karim Benzema is part of Real Madrid’s feared forward trio

Shia LaBeouf shares a fair few features with French footballer Karim Benzema

NOT only have both Benzema and LaBeouf been in trouble in recent years, they also share another similarity.

Well, they actually look pretty similar. Had you noticed that on before?

DAVID BECKHAM-ANDY HARMER

David Beckham lookalike Andy Harmer gained plenty of attention in the 00s

THERE are a whole host of wannabe lookalikes in the world, hoping to cash in a quick buck just for being born lucky.

Well, there are one or two who genuinely look pretty similar, and Harmer looks pretty similar to England legend Becks.

JOHN TERRY-LUCY SMITH

John Terrys lookalike sprung to the attention of social media users a few years ago — John Terry’s lookalike sprung to the attention of social media users a few years ago

Lucy Smith ignored taunts online about her likeness to Chelsea man John Terry

SOCIAL media was up in arms when this one was doing the rounds not too long ago.

That’s right Smith bears an uncanny resemblance to Chelsea star JT. Amazing.

RAY PARLOUR-CHARLIE DIMMOCK

Arsenal and England man Ray Parlour shares uncanny resemblance to Charlie Dimmock

Ray Parlour in fact was not the co-host of TV show Ground Force

ARSENAL midfield legend turned Ground Force star?

No Parlour didn’t moonlight as a gardener during his professional career, Dimmock and the former England ace just share the curly red locks.

RAFA BENITEZ-AL McWHIGGIN

Rafael Benitez has been in charge of Liverpool, Real Madrid and Newcastle

Al McWhiggan owned the toy store in Pixars classic Toy Story 2 — Al McWhiggin owned the toy store in Pixar’s classic Toy Story 2

FORMER Liverpool and now-Newcastle boss had a cheeky appearance in Toy Story 2.

Well, actually, not really, but the Spanish boss certainly shares some similarities with collecting-obsessed toy shop owner McWhiggin from the second film in the hugely popular Pixar franchise…

STEVE BRUCE-BRENDA FRICKER

Steve Bruce in fact did not take on the role of a homeless lady in Home Alone 2

Brenda Fricker shares an uncanny resemblance to former Hull boss Steve Bruce

No, in fact it was Brenda Fricker who starred as the homeless New York City woman who just loved the pigeons… Not Bruce.

JURGEN KLOPP-ANON

Jurgen Klopp was spotted alongside his lookalike for an advert for Phillips

SEEING double? Sort of.

Liverpool manager Klopp was on set filming an advert for Phillips with his absolute dead ringer.

Unfortunately for the doppelganger he didn’t get the memo that morning… Shave. It’s a Phillips ad after all.

And one for luck… ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC-JACK GOODACRE

I wonder how Man United ace Zlatan Ibrahimovic feels about his lookalike

Zlatan Ibrahimovics lookalike Jack Goodacre has been doing the rounds lately — Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s lookalike Jack Goodacre has been doing the rounds lately

THERE’S only one Zlatan, the man himself would like to say.

Or, perhaps, there are two… Judge for yourself.
