PICSPAM: Footballers...when they were young (Part 1)  
A collection of baby photos (well, not necessarily baby pics, but they're still young) from more than 30 different footballers...

Onwards and upwards to the dorkiness...


No particular order. But um, let's start with something hilarious...

THIERRY HENRY

Wahahahahaha. x 21331105.  The hair! The bell-bottom jeans! *dies from laughing*

MICHAEL OWEN

I love it when parents make their kids wear dorky sweaters. =)  What a cute kid.

MICHAEL BALLACK

So, um, he looks exactly the same, except with better hair. And um, is anyone else freaked out by the floating balls in the grown-up Micha photo?

 ZINEDINE ZIDANE

I...Can't believe...He once had...So. Much. Hair. xD

MIROSLAV KLOSE

He's reading a book in FRENCH! Yay! You go, multilingual Miro, you!

HERNAN CRESPO

Bwahaha, what dorky hair. And um, is the ball supposed to be that huge? It's like, almost twice the size of his head!

ROBIN VAN PERSIE

Gah, so funny!

ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC

Sorry, I don't like him. Never have, never will. Hmph.

CESC FABREGAS

Man, baby Cesc looks like one of those kids that would steal all of your candy and force you to watch while they eat it. xD

SERGIO "KUN" AGUERO

Oh wow, how adorable is this?! And he still has the same hair! LOL.

WAYNE ROONEY

Ack! That is one freaky baby. *shivers*

JOSE MOURINHO (ok, so he's not a "footballer", but this was too amusing not to include)

HAHAHAHA.

ROQUE SANTA CRUZ

Oh Roque... Stop being so pretty.

KAKA'

Um, cutest kid ever? Yeah, just about. ♥ I love the mushroom hair, wahahaha.

LIONEL MESSI

Aw, how precious. *pets*

ALESSANDRO DEL PIERO

Um, yeah. THIS is quite possibly the most adorable kid ever.  Good to see he's ditched the frilly pink headdress. xD

STEVEN GERRARD

LOL, he looks so chubby in the first photo. And uh, the jersey...how appropriate. Hehe.

ALBERTO GILARDINO

How adorable is this?! Look at that chubby little face...!! *pinches*  Grown-up Gila's not looking too bad either. ^_^

FRANK LAMPARD

*collapses from laughter at the first photo*   And um, what a spiffy suit he's got on there....ROFL.

DAVID BECKHAM

Oh lord, his HAIR! It looks like it has the texture of a porcupine. But aw, even that can't stop him from looking happy.  (And I included a photo of him with good hair, so he's redeemed himself. Yay.)

FERNANDO TORRES  

Oh Nando, El Niño forever. ♥

NUNO GOMES

Oh psht, that's so obviously Nuno...he's easy to recognize even as a baby.  Amazing.

CHRISTOPH METZELDER

Ahahahaha, Metze, you dork!  ♥ x 6544613112800

PETR CECH

What a good student. Hands folded and everything. =D

JOSE ANTONIO REYES

Oh good God. WTF? He should have just gone and burned this photo. I don't know whether to laugh my head off or sympathize with poor Reyes, who had obviously been mercilessly tricked into thinking that this kind of hair would not come back to haunt him.

RAUL!!!

Awww, look at him with his nice plaid shirt and little trophy.  ♥

ALESSANDRO NESTA

Again with the geeky plaid shirts and sweaters!

PAOLO MALDINI

So, God was once young too...wow.

DECO

Ahehehehe...

FABIO CANNAVARO

Awwwww, what a cute kid! Dorky sweater alert! Oh, and the mega-watt Canna grin, even at that age. n_n

FERNANDO MORIENTES

Aw, Mori Mori looks exactly the same! Awesomeness.

ANDREA PIRLO

Again, this is one of those photos that you burn. But I'm impressed that he was smart enough to start hiding his ears under his hair. *thumbs up*

FILIPPO INZAGHI

Aw baby Pippo. So cute. What the hell happened?

CRISTIANO RONALDO

This is one of his, um, better baby photos. In some other ones he looks downright, um, fat. Haha.

For more dorkiness, Part Two can be found HERE. =D

Oh. Oh. This has to be my favourite picspam ever. Screw huge posts of wet!half-nekkid!sexy!footie-boys. This is what it's all about. Most adorable thing I've ever seen in my life. Thank you so much for this. I could do a long, rambly commentary on every single pic but I prefer to just in sigh in content right now. (Or giggle uncontrollably in some cases... LOL, Henry. :D)

I haven't laughed like this in a long time.

Baby Thierry! That toothless smile!!!
Baby Lampard must have been absolutely irresistible - I feel like pinching his cheeks and cuddling him.
Fat Cristiano? REALLY?! :D

An extended edition, if possible? Please!

HOLY CRAP, BABY ROONEY IS SO SCARY.

And I love little Miro so so much! Big Miro isn't that shabby either ;D

Definitely adding this to my memories, thanks!

I've already seen most of these, but it's really nice to see the kid pictures side-by-side the 'now' ones. =D

Awesome picspam! LMAO at Rooney and you're right, baby!Cesc looks like a TOTAL BULLY.

bluestar07[info]bluestar07 on February 25th, 2007 02:07 am (UTC)
King Titi!!!!! OMG!!!! ROTFL!!!! He'such a smiley kid... cuteness personified!!! I want to pinch him. Oh and I can see why he keeps his head smooth shaven ... :/

Baby Cesc is one cheeky little boy! You're so right about him and the candy! Quite the devious little devil yeah? But such an adorable one.

Roque = hotness. Period.

Hahaha I love Stevie G's second photo! You see the makings of that cute frown he permanently displays these days.

Gila is almost too cute. I would not have let him go if I had Baby Gila in my hands.

Fat Lamps = GAH. Fat Baby Lamps = ROTFLMAO!!!! His cheeks are literally overflowing!

There's no mistaking Nuno's eyes alright...

Merely confirms my belief that GOD gets sexier with age. *nods*

And Sleepy gets sleepier with age too.

Hey! Pippo is still hotness yo!

Thanks for the great spam! I'm keeping this in memories!

Ricky is the cutest of them all, you can't deny that. And lampsy, chubby as he may be, is still really cute. I wouldn't have guessed that the kid in the first pic would be him!

Jesus. Wayne Rooney as a baby was hideous.
Lux Ion[info]imluxionverdin on February 25th, 2007 03:05 am (UTC)
Great post, thanks.

If you look at the picture of little Thierry Henry, you would NEVER GUESS that he'd grow up to be one of the worlds best footballers, and an international sex symbol.

However, if you look at poor baby Rooney, I think he's gone the other way.

ZOMG HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHA. Definitely one of the most gorgeous and laugh-inducing picspams I have encountered.

Do you notice that regardless of the awfulness of Becks's hair, the quality is still so good and it's shiny? Obviously hair- and skincare must start young.

On another note, Jose needs to burn all of his childhood/younger pictures right about now.

And Pirlo = hahahahahaahahaaha *rolls over and dies* Poor thing! The stick-out ears are too funny.

They all look so cute! I think I am psychologically disturbed because I seriously want to pinch them like an evil bully. Some of them grow up to look even better, but some, errrrrm.

Thank you very much for posting these!

Ahaha! Aw, these are all adorable. Even the players I dislike become tolerable in the company of cute baby photos! Thanks for grouping them all together

psst. I think the sweater Mikey Owens is wearing is as school uniform because you can see his wee tie and the standard grey slacks that populate schools all over the Commonwealth. :D

p.s. Oh, I came over from ohnotheydidn't, so that's why this comment seems to come from a random stranger.
