Which footballers did you fancy back in the day?

[Emmazebra]

Current England team all young enough to be my son but back in the 1990s my friends were all football mad & our crushes included Trevor Sinclair, Jamie Redknapp, Graeme Le Saux, David Ginola, Ryan Giggs and loads more I can’t remember.

It was before mobile phones obviously so we used to cut pictures of our heart-throbs out the newspaper and stick them inside the back covers of our exercise books at school and get a bollocking from the teachers

Freddie lundberg (DP?)
Ginola

I was talking about this earlier with my daughter who's got a crush on Grealish....definitely Steve McManaman for me

I meant (SP?) unfortunately he was never my DP
Mind you I don’t think I was his type

Can’t remember his name now, Liverpool 90’s, boy next door looks.

Not from back in the day exactly but I have a soft spot for David Luis !
And from back in the day Ray Clemence. And Alan Hanson was a bit of alright as well! Though my back in the day was a lot further back than the Linekar era ! I feel v old suddenly !

And Alan Hanson was a bit of alright as well!

The anti-Beckham. One gets wildly attractive when he opens his mouth. The other... not so much.

Owen and Beckham. You can probably guess how old I am!

Yes if I was 14 again I would definitely have a picture of Grealish taped into my school folder.

GenuinelyItis Iker Casillas

Michael Owen! That’s who I was thinking of!

Early 90's - Paulo Maldini.

Early noughties - Chris Sutton.

Lee Sharpe. He sometimes pops into my local when he's visiting his parents. The crush is definitely gone now!

My first football shirt had Sharpe on the back. I loved him!

Robbie Fowler

SirJohn of Barnes. Still would.

Ruud Gullit. I am that old.

Freddi Lundberg

Also David beckham, and I had a bit of a thing for Jason mcateer

Asa Hartford.

Paul Ince
Vidic
Becks

I met freddie ljundberg once - total swoon

My best mate fancied Ally McCoist.

My Mum fancied Graeme Souness. Big time.

Andrei Kanchelskis. I had a massive poster of him on my bedroom wall and pics plastered on every surface! Just looked him up now and got a massive shock!!

Beckham, lamps, stevie G.... but I was 13 and they were like 23
Now is John stones, Olivier giroud, firmino, Ben chillwell, Tyrone mings, Kieran trippier, dries martens, Eden hazard, griezeman...just too name a few. They are all around my age 😂

Dean Saunders was my first ever football crush.
