A seasoned pro. Continues to deliver on the biggest stage. Personality shines through. You know what you’re getting – hard work, quality and experience. Respect.

𝗞𝗮𝗿𝗹 𝗧𝗵𝘆𝗲𝗿 / @KarlThyer

As a footballer: Andy Robertson.

Gone from strength to strength in a short space of time. Wears his heart on his sleeve. Stamina for days. Gets his head down, grafts and reaps the rewards. ALWAYS delivers.

𝗗𝗮𝗻 𝗟𝗲𝘆𝗱𝗼𝗻 / @danleydon

As a footballer: Santi Cazorla

Plays with a smile. Cheeky, inventive and thinks so far out the box he’s in his own half. A versatile luxury player that flourishes wherever he’s asked to play. On-point end product.

𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗹 / @DaveMerrell

As a footballer: Harry Kane

A clinical finisher who is destined for bigger and better things. Showed everyone what he’s capable of at the World Cup. Likes to drop deep and switch up styles to strong effect.

𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗻 / @daveflanagan

As a footballer: Kevin De Bruyne

Time and time again reminds people why he’s one of the very best. Leaves everything out on the pitch. Never phased. Never flustered. Consistently excellent.

𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗻 / @MarkJohnson_

As a footballer: Ciro Immobile

An under-the-radar superstar with a reliable edge. Links up with team-mates like they’ve played together for years. Performs with colour, creativity and heart!

𝗦𝗰𝗼𝘁𝘁 𝗠𝗰𝗥𝗼𝘆 / @Scott_McRoy

As a footballer: Paul Pogba

Unique style that continues to surprise us. Lights up the pitch. Side projects as impressive as his main game. There is no competing with the style – you can only follow. A leader.

𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘄 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘆 / @mshipley24

As a footballer: Erling Haaland

Has come out of nowhere and established himself as one of the best. A powerful presence set for a huge move in the game. Don’t sleep on this guy. He’s a force.

𝗝𝗼𝘀𝗵 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵 / @ShedCreativeUK

As a footballer: Olivier Giroud

Tidy performer. Sticks to the game plan, steps up and efficiently produces results. Has more up his sleeve than people realise. A real eye-catching style.

𝗘𝗱𝗴𝗮𝗿 𝗥𝗼𝘇𝗼 / IG: http://instagram.com/melgarozo 

As a footballer: Ronaldinho

A once-in-a-lifetime entertainer. Only good things can come from him being in possession. Expresses himself with aplomb. Unconfirmed if they have the same hair.

𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘄 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝗶𝗿𝗮 / @MathewVieiraArt

As a footballer: David Silva

Put simply: it’s just lovely to watch, really. Plays the game with ease, paints a picture in his head and executes it to perfection. Will be a sad day when he retires.

𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗹 𝗡𝘆𝗮𝗿𝗶 / @danielnyari

As a footballer: Christian Pulisic

At his best when given a free role to conjure up moments of magic. Just when you think you’ve got his style sussed, he produces something unexpected. A real wow factor.

𝗞𝗶𝘁 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗼𝗻𝗲 / @kitandbone

As a footballer: Jordan Henderson

The engine room. A player who keeps the team ticking over with consistent quality. Plays the percentages and well. No fancy flicks here – just solid all-round play.

#MOTDmagIllustrators

𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗵𝗮𝗻 / @johnsportraits

As a footballer: Neymar

Never keeps it simple, but we wouldn't want it any other way. Runs on flair, originality and his natural gift. Most likely to get booked for being too damn skilful.
