We've been receiving your votes on this very subjective issue, and so we
have decided to revisit the all time Manchester United Ugly XI to
update the list.
Down the years the Red Devils have had some good looking stars play for
the club and thankfully we've not had that many whose photos would give
young children nightmares.
So here is the United Hall of Horrors:
No1. Roy Carroll - aka 'Daffy Duck' - goalkeeper
No.2 Steve James - the story goes that 'Plug of the Bash Street Kids' was modelled on the defender's looks
No.3 Maurice Setters - a hard looking player whose looks did not
deceive - defender. Setters made 'Chopper' Harris look like Frank
Spencer - so tough tackling was he.
No.4 Nobby Styles - World and European cup winner in '66 and '68
respectively. One of the Busy Babes, an all time United legend. Nobby
was like a Jack Russell terrier; always there when it mattered, biting
at ankles. These days all the rage is teeth-whitening, in Nobby's day it
was fashionable not to have any teeth - 'half-back'
No.5 Mike Duxbury - this is probably his best ever photo - midfielder
No.6 Ashley Grimes - midfielder
No.7 Peter Beardsley - some say that only a mother could love this face - forward
No.8 Wayne Rooney - some call him Shrek, others call him fat b******,
but to United fans, he's simply the best thing to ever come out of
Merseyside; he might not have the looks of Beckham or George Best, but
the boy can play - forward
No.9 Joe Jordan - AKA count Dracula - he came from Leeds United, he
broke their supporters hearts when he signed for the Red Devils. When
Joe had his teeth in he did some modelling, not many would believe that
going off this photo - forward
No.10 Carlos Tevez, he's cunning, he's lightning quick, he comes from
Argentina, he looks like he could be a James Bond villain, and he has
teeth that could open a tin of corned beef - forward
No.11 Luke Chadwick, a cert to be included in most observers ugly XI?
A framed photo on the mantlepiece would surely make a useful fire-side
guard?
Keep on sending in your suggestions, the Hall of Horrors is open to review.
