#24: Ruud van Nistelrooy
24 March 2004
I came across this picture... let me re-phrase that... ooh, now it's me being rude. Rude - Ruud, D'you see? Do you see what I've done there? Do what with my keyboard? Oh, I say. There's no need to be rude... oh! Ruud... yeah, okay, sorry. I found this picture on the BBC website when I was in the middle of something really important at work. That's right: browsing football websites.
What we have here is an example of the quality of Premiership clubs' training facilities. Where proper football teams only have the use of gymnasiums (gymnasia?) and sports grounds in which to practice their facial contortions, clubs like Manchester United can afford top drawer equipment like ex-NASA astronaut centrifuges. Hence, Mr van Nist has loosened up his cheeks sufficiently to enable him to pull off a MACH-3 lip and chin wibber-wibber-wibber at will. And look - he's also thrown in a pair of heavily crossed eyes, just for fun. That's just showboating.

Do you have any pictures of players gurning? Have a flick through your piles of old programmes, scan 'em in and email them to us at codalmightygurns@yahoo.co.uk.
