The League of extraordinary Premiership Footballers

The League of Extraordinary Footballers

Footballers are worshipped by vast swathes of the population. Especially the more talented ones. Some are elevated to the status of heroes and some have extraordinary powers on the pitch.

But what if they really were superheroes? Let's check out:

The League of extraordinary Premiership Footballers

1. Robin Van Persie is: Allan Quatermain.

He doesn't miss and he leads by example. RVP has been on fire for a sustained amount of time now and United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has shown he still knows his stuff by securing the Dutchman who's in the form of his life.

2. Fernando Torres is: Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde 

Seriously, what has happened to Chelsea's £50 million pound man? From world class to Sunday league quality or worse in less than two years, the Spaniard is running out of time to turn it around. Will he be left as a sad manifestation of his former self? Only time will tell.

3.  Michael Owen is: The Invisible Man

Despite scoring a consolation for Stoke a few weeks back, Owen hasn't played anywhere near enough football considering his past glories. Whether he can use his goal-scoring instincts to force his way into the team is yet to be seen, but so far this season he has been overlooked by Tony Pulis.

4. Ryan Giggs is: Dorian Gray

The evergreen Welshman has proved yet again that age is no barrier to class, and he will likely sign another extension to continue his top flight career even further. Dorian Gray stayed immortal and Giggs is seemingly impervious to the ravages of time. 

5.Mario Balotelli is: Captain Nemo

Balotelli seems to dislike authority, (if his bust-ups with Roberto Mancini are anything to go by) and he courts controversy as he roams the globe. Despite his eccentric tendencies, his skill can set the world alight as seen in the Euros, and I for one can't wait to see him playing in the champions league and international tournaments in the future.

So, that was my list, if you agree or disagree let me know below in the comments section, and thanks for reading.
