Ultimate football hipster Dimitar Berbatov is a free agent at the age of 35 having left Greek club PAOK with the bold intention of heading back to England.

News of the enigmatic, unpredictable and technically brilliant Bulgarian’s ‘come and get me plea’ to Premier League clubs adds another exciting turn to career of one of football’s suavest men.

The Berb and Monaco was a match made in heaven. One of the silkiest footballers of the modern era in the twilight of his career enjoying a luxury two-year stint in Monaco of all places but that came to and end when the sun of Greece came calling.



Now though, with playtime over, it’s time to celebrate the great man in a series of wonderful gifs, videos and pictures to prove to Premier League managers what they need to snap up…


1. Kick-off

To kick us off, this clip of the great man actually kicking off but in the most Berba way of all time…

2. Silence, Berba is talking:

3. Underhand tactics

What do you do if an opponent is giving you grief? Poke him in the eye, obviously:

But does he care?

(That’s a no).

4. The moment he became a Manchester United legend:

By scoring this ridiculous over-head kick as part of a hat-trick against fierce rivals Liverpool…

5. This…

Is without doubt the best thing you will EVER see:

6. Acting skills

In case you didn’t know before, Berba loves the Godfather and fancies himself as a bit of an impressionist:

7. Penalty prowess

One of the most nerve wracking aspects of football, a penalty.

But if you’re one of the most casual and relaxed footballer’s on the planet, you love it…

8. He has all the skills

And provided us with the sexiest bit of skill the Premier League has ever seen…

9. Style

Is Berbatov the only player in the history of football that has a footballing style that matches his off-field dress sense?

Just because he can (Picture: Twitter)

10. Touch

To be honest, we could have just filled this list with endless clips of Berbatov’s first touch if we wanted to.

Anyway, we’ll settle for this one:

11. He gets the message

Forget your soppy, emotional messages to loved ones to show off when you score a goal.

Dimitar knows the score…

Just wonderful (Picture: Twitter)

12. He knows what he wants..

Football isn’t just a game for the Berb, it’s an art form:

‘I always tend to think my goals are beautiful goals. That is what I want to score; beautiful goals, and create beautiful chances.’ – Dimitar Berbatov.

He wasn’t wrong, was he?
