I've developed a little crush on Erling Haaland

[OfAllThePlaces]

I'm almost 50!

I'm not even sure what it is about him, I've never in my lifetime liked any sportsperson ever! My husband keeps teasing me about it, has even said he's going to grow his hair like his if that's my thing 😂😳

Anyone else, or just me?

Ooh I think he’s an ugly bugger but then I’ve got a soft spot for Luka Modric so I have crap taste

You must have very odd taste as he’s one of the strangest looking men .

Did you see the lovely photo of him in the Telegraph in cowboy boots? He wore them well!
Jordan Pickford is much nicer though…

@Tronkmanton just checked, that might have cured me, thanks 😉

@tinyspiny I honestly don't, he does have a cheeky smile and lovely eyes, maybe that's it?

Oh god no, he's like a big ugly troll 🤢 Martin Ødegaard however......🥰

He looks like a beluga whale (and is an arrogant arsehole with it, but that’s hardly uncommon amongst premier league footballers).

Beluga whale 🤣

Albino walrus?

I love him!! His personality and the way he comes across does it for me!

We always say he's one of the most unattractive people we've ever seen. You have a funny taste in men op!

He has some very nice handbags

I totally get it. He’s massive (could throw you over his shoulder) and funny. I’ve always had a thing for men with big facial features. Loved his selfie with his “twin” Shrek

He's a fantastic football player but unfortunately his looks aren't one of his strong points. He's obviously going to have a brilliant career regardless but I do wonder if his looks have held him back from a slew of sponsorships and adverts.

Just yesterday I saw two compilations on X of clips of him being nice to small kids and laughing with and hugging both his teammates and the opposing teams. It really showed how much other players seem to love and respect him. It made me see him in a whole different light. A gentle giant when not playing and a fierce competitor when playing. 😍

Albino Pubes. Just imagine that.

I'm just back from Norway and his face is everywhere. I see what you mean OP ... very striking. I'm always drawn to a "big face", it doesn't have to be conventionally good looking to be attractive.

I get it and he’s not someone who I’d be attracted to either normally… but the smile, the passion, the at his face lights up when they do the row. He seems so happy Norway is there!

He's not for me

however I do have a crush on Roy Keane 🫣🤦🏻‍♀️

I love Erling! He genuinely seems to be such a lovely boy.

Here’s one of the X videos I saw yesterday. Warning: he gets shirtless at one point

Ah, bless you, so nice to have a little crush, but sorry to me he looks like the love child of a droid and an alien, but each to their own. At the moment I’m slightly in love with Roman Safiullin 🥰

Another compilation of clips

Urgh no! A cross between a cartoon baby and a dolphin!

You are not alone! For me it’s his size, skill, confidence and sense of humour. Plus I love his bromance with Bellingham 😍

God no, he looks like Golum.
