Reddit users draw hilarious portraits of footballers – can you guess who they are?

It’s good to know talkSPORT are not the only ones counting down the days until the new Premier League season kicks off – and this proves it.

In a bid to beat the off-season blues, Reddit users got creative on Friday with a fun game – use MS Paint (other editing software is available) to draw a footballer of your choice and let others guess.

There were some spectacular results, ranging from the brilliant, to the brilliantly awful and the darn right scary.

Click the arrow above, right, to check out our favourites, and thank you Redditors (and thread creator DriesMertens – props to you sir!) for giving us a laugh on a Friday afternoon!
