    I'm watching the Chelsea-Aston Villa game, and I've noticed that Olof Mellberg is one of the few footballers around who's got a beard. Also, if I recall correctly, he didn't have it at the beginning of the season.

    Which led me to wonder: who has the most grizzly appearance in all of soccer? Not necessarily just anyone who's got a beard, but maybe I'm looking for the player with the most unkempt and intimidating style.

    Well, if you want scruffy and not necessarily long, Damiano Tommasi deserves a nod:
