10 most handsome footballers over the years including Ruben Neves and Jack Grealish

Jack Grealish and Ruben Neves are two of the most handsome players in the Premier League, but the Manchester City and Wolves aces are not the only ones whose looks have won over fans

Many footballers today are known for their good looks as much as their football ability.


Whether it’s their slick hairstyles, strong physiques, permanent baby faces, or even the way they wear their socks, some players are almost guaranteed a starting spot just for their aesthetic alone.


And that can turn the most orthodox midfielder or defender into a walking billboard, prompting perfume and fashion companies to fall over themselves to get to them.


As well as sponsors, they can build and grow their very own fan base who supports them and them only.

Daily Star sport considers 10 of the most handsome footballers over the years.

At times, the Wolves ace looks more like a Disney Prince rather than a tough tackling midfielder.

However, the Portuguese ace’s capacity to find the top corner from almost anywhere on the pitch has also pushed him into this list.

His majestic chip in Wolves’ 4-0 victory against Wolves was enough to make even the most ardent of football fans weak at the knees.


Jack Grealish

What other good looking football stars can you think of? Let us know in the comments

Even when England scored, the loudest cheer of the day was often reserved for when Gareth Southgate introduced Jack Grealish into the contest during Euro 2020.


The Manchester City ace could barely look anywhere at Wembley without catching a glimpse of a homemade sign asking him to marry them.

Grealish has become somewhat of a style icon on the football pitch, whether it’s his hairband or the way he rolls his socks down.

Mason Mount

“I look as good as ever” Mason Mount said while still pumped with morphine during a hilarious video of him after a wisdom tooth operation at the dentist.

Unfortunately, it’s difficult to disagree with the Chelsea ace who is often placed in the same bracket as his England counterpart Grealish.


Fortunately for the Blues, Mount’s performances on the pitch have also been good, as he has contributed an impressive eight goals and seven assists this Premier League campaign.

Paul Pogba

From his elaborate haircuts to his eye-watering technical ability, Paul Pogba is certainly a unique style icon.


The Manchester United ace is one of the most coolest and most gifted footballers in the world when he is fit and firing.

Frustratingly, the Red Devils have been anything but aesthetically pleasing this campaign, as they have dropped down to fifth position in the Premier League.

Thierry Henry

His slick suits and smooth style would almost make you forget that Thierry Henry was one of the most devastating centre-forwards of his generation.

However, the former Arsenal and Barcelona ace oozed style and charisma, whether it was on the pitch - particularly in front of goal – or his analytical breakdowns on Sky Sports News.

He was, and still is, one of the coolest operators in world football.


Olivier Giroud

Olivier Giroud has everything. A lovely haircut, a well-trimmed beard, a chiselled physique, a jaw dropping portfolio of incredible goals, and more trophies than most clubs could even dream off.

And now the former Chelsea and Arsenal striker is spear heading AC Milan’s Serie A title charge in the absence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.


Similarly to Grealish, Giroud has amassed a fan club of his own containing followers who are just as interested in himself, than his football.

David Beckham

It would not be controversial to say that every man in England has wanted to be David Beckham for the day.


While many may want to forget about the period where he sported braids, Beckham is a style icon who has managed to pull off ponytails, Mohicans, hairbands, and even zero all over haircuts.

Even at the age of 46-years-old, Beckham still manages to leave his many fans wobbly at the knees.

Cristiano Ronaldo

An angry email would have likely been sent by Cristiano Ronaldo’s representatives if he was not mentioned in this list.

After all, the Manchester United ace has worked tirelessly on ensuring his physical fitness is as high as it possibly can be.

Ronaldo’s dedication to fitness, recovery, the gym, and his diet, has enabled the former Real Madrid and Juventus ace to build a physique most people half his age could only dream off.


David Ginola

With his long flowing hair and piercing blue eyes, Ginola looks were as easy on the eye as his football abilities.

Fortunately for his many admirers, the former Tottenham, Newcastle, Aston Villa, and Everton player amassed over 195 Premier League appearance.


And despite the fact he often needed a hair band, the sight of a single strand of hair being out of place was extremely rare.

George Best

Best's fame often put him into the same bracket as movie stars in the 1970s

George Best was one of the first real football celebrities.

As well as being one of the best players in the world during his heyday years at Manchester United, Best was also a magnet for women and sponsors during those glittering seasons.

At times, the majestic winger looked more like one of The Beetles than an elite football player – fortunately for him, his magical abilities made him just as famous.
