FOLLOWING high-demand for another item of the week inspired list, we are back to go on a journey through what footballers would be called if they were desserts.
1. Lionel Eton-Messi
From the streets of Rosario, Argentina, Eton-Messi is considered one of the greatest to ever play, smashing records like they’re meringue and whipping in crosses like the cream topping his namesake dish.
2. Mousse-on Mount
Over the past few years, Mount has shared a key characteristic with chocolate mousse; being lightweight. Injuries have plagued the midfielder’s career and when he plays his team is often, like the eggs used in mousse, are beaten.
3. Matthias ‘Turkish De Ligt’
Similarly to Turkish Delight, a unique treat that is reliable, De Ligt has finally found favour at Old Trafford. His surname also sounds a little bit like delight…ropey but a bit of fun!
4. Phil Fondant Fancies
Less of a dessert but more of a sweet cakey treat that can provide moments of joy. Foden pops up for City when he’s needed to put a smile on the face of their five fans.
5. Tira-Michu
A foreign, imported dessert that can be unbelievable on its day, just like former Swansea striker Michu. Often overlooked when discussing the best, both tiramisu and Michu have that exotic sparkle.
6. Scott Sin-eclair
I mean I don’t even know how to defend this one, it is the definition of scraping the barrel.
7. Declan Rice Pudding
A truly British classic that just does the job. Both Declan and his name-related dessert cause a divide in public opinion, some people rate them more than others, but there is no questioning its reliability.
8. Viktor Gü-kores
Highly regarded and appears like a bit of a luxury good. However when you look closely, Gü cheesecake is just a bit average, just like Gyökeres at Arsenal.
9. Mark Battenburg
After review…it’s a referee to spice things up here and Clattenburg is a dessert that’s pattern resembles a linesman’s flag.
10. Luke Shawtbread Selection
The Manchester United defender’s legs are about as structurally stable as a shortbread dunked in tea, with a crumbling collapse due anytime.
