We all know that many footballers have an inflated ego. In fact some consider themselves stallions of the pitch. The age old saying applies: “if it looks like a horse, sounds like a horse and walks like a horse, it is probably a professional footballer”. We wouldn’t be surprised to see these running down the track at this year’s Cheltenham races.

Georgios SaMAREas

Greek forward Georgios Samaras will be bringing his Pegasus-like powers to fly down the stretch in the Gold Cup

BrunODDS-ONves

The Portuguese horse breed, Lusitano, often have narrow, well-proportioned heads, thick necks, shoulders that are muscular, and a deep, broad chest. The horses have short, strong backs and legs that are sturdy and muscled. They are known as powerful horses, noted for their intelligence and willing nature. Bruno Alves doesn’t fit the stereotype.

CarlODDS Tevez

Carlos Tevez starts his fifth straight Gold Cup after being snubbed in 2011 and subsequently throwing a tantrum in the stables!

Dirk COLT

Dirk Kuyt is the hardest-working horse in the stable but fairly mediocre.

 

Rob HOOFshaw

Rob Earnshaw is a fast horse who is always looking to dive over the finish line.

CarlHOOF Puyol

Carles Puyol is the leader of the pack but at his age this may be his final Gold Cup.

HOOFinho
Quick off the blocks but Gervinho often loses his balance and ends up crashing into the ground before reaching the finish line.

DONKEY Luiz

Backers will be hoping David Luiz doesn’t fall at the first hurdle.

GUINEAS Suarez

Officials will be keeping a close eye on Luis Suarez to make sure he’s not biting any of his competition in the starting blocks.

FOAL Jones

Phil Jones narrowly missed out winning in 2012 and enters this year’s race with the youngest horse.

RonaldinHORSE

Ronaldinho always comes out on top in photo finishes with those horse teeth.

Ruud HOOFit

Ruud Gullit will be bringing his own brand of sexy horse racing to Cheltenham this year.

SADDLE Ibrahimovic

I am Zlatan? More like I have a face like a horse!
