LEAST Athletic Football Greats Of All Time

[@ctrlaltdeligt]

Berbatov was a very rare kind of player, he made difficult things seem so effortless and the way he glided through the pitch was unique, definitely one of the most elegant footballers ever, his style made him special

[@vaestkusten6041]

Also, enjoyed a cigarette or two off the field, lol. Berba the Great!

[@titans360ify]

He’s just like James harden in the nba

[@godwinoyibo7237]

Kanu Nwankwo has the same technique as Berbatov

[@vaestkusten6041]

@@godwinoyibo7237 Absolutely, that's another great one who did magical things look effortless. I find it impressive when tall players like Kanu, Ibrahimovic.. can have such ball control. It would be sad if they had a.. let's say, Lukaku's first touch.

[@babineaux.]

Berbatov put in just enough energy to get maximum results.

[@ZexaXIII]

Berba used to jog past players effortlessly. I miss him a Man Utd.

[@jonathan2755]

Yeah well he ran at about 3mph so it wasnt hard. He ran marathons not 100m sprints. Guy was like a sloth getting around the pitch.

[@equisg3580]

why run when you can just walk past them...

[@sandycaptaincool420]

R9 went out of shape later in his career, in his prime, only a small percentage of humans could outpace him.

[@elviscassemiro9139]

When ronaldo was playing for Corinthians he had 115kg and 3 major knee injuries for many this is enough to even make a run in a park but this guy was so better than others that he got brazilian cup champion! He is playing with just pure talent

Can You Do a Video on Unusual Goal Scores Example Lampard Scoring 303 Goals Despite Being A Mid Fielder

[@filipburic5194]

Interesting fact about Faulk, when he moved to Chelsea, they realised that the man was a crowd puller, and to highlight this, put two small boys behind his goal, who were there to also distract the opposition. These boys would often collect and return the balls which went out of play behind the goal and hence, ball boys were born.

[@babixillo]

according to this video being athletic means not too short, not too tall, not too muscular, not too fat, not too thin, not eating fast food and not smoking.

[@nathanssl7897]

I seriously hope Harry Maguire wouldn't turn out to be like William Faulke.

[@siberianTiger639]

Pirlo could be easily on this list. No pace and power but still was a great dribbler and could get past people with ease. Not to talk about his other qualities...

[@67daltonknox]

I'd add Jimmy Greaves. He hated training and during a match would wander round with his marker, sledging him. Then suddenly he would take two quick steps and score a goal.

[@cunnyfunt30]

Tomas Brolin deserves a mention

[@anotherf-invideo2784]

Jeroen Verhoeven was a Dutch goalie who (not too long ago) even played for Ajax. Every time he would take a goal kick the crowd would slowly build up a 'woooooooow' and scream 'pizza!' as soon as he hit the ball. If you Google him you'll get the reference.

[@thilosue]

Ailton?

[@timmyfung01]

you missed Ozil, he couldn't last for 70 minutes without exhausting himself. and I disagree with Berbatov, you can call him lazy, but he should not be considered to be on the list. He has a decent pace and body strength to do what he did, and he was rarely sub off for lacking stamina. there is a difference between lazy and not being athletic. just because he focus himself to time his run, it doesn't mean he is not athletic.

[@everytingsport9368]

Ozil was always tired cause he covered blade of grass

[@Account.for.Comment]

Ozil actually run the most in the team and amongst the most in the league. That the reason he barely last 70 mins and beside if the opponents managed to stop him for effecting the game before he was sub, they would still able to do that when he was tired. In his first season, he ate more hamburgers to put more body mass on. The whole thing about him being lazy is just a media meme. Same reason they complained about the mentality of any players of a losing team. Any players in the top level already have strong mentality.

[@peterpereira3653]

John Hartson should have been on this video.
