Tis All Hallows’ Eve and our fevered minds turn naturally to thoughts of the mysterious and the macabre as we being you our Top XI Premier League creeps, freaks and ne’er-do-wells.

Of course, it’s all just a bit of Halloween fun conjured up by our fearful imaginings and not to be taken seriously by anybody’s legal representaives, but here’s Pies’ top tier Halloween XI – starting with our ghoulish goalie and going from there…

Soccer - UEFA Europa League Qualifying - Play Offs - Second Leg - Tottenham Hotspur v Dinamo Tbilisi - White Hart Lane

Brad Friedel, Tottenham: Quite possibly had his remains reanimated by a demented German vivisectionist.

Russia Soccer Europe League

Martin Skrtel, Liverpool: As we’ve mentioned before on Pies, Skrtel has the “beserk Siberian Gulag escapee ” look down to a ‘T’.

Britain Soccer League Cup

Phil Jones, Man Utd: Routinely struggles to quell the raging Hellbeast that lives inside his face.

Spain Soccer La Liga

Michael Essien, Chelsea: The cold, malevolent eyes of a shark/praying mantis hybrid. Rumour has it that Essien relaxes at night by putting on his headphones and falling asleep to a cassette tape of the sound of human ankle bones breaking on loop.

Soccer - FIFA World Cup Qualifying - Group A - Wales v Macedonia - Wales Press Conference - St David's Hotel

David Vaughan, Sunderland: Somewhere a clock tower is missing its hunchback.

Soccer - Barclays Premier League - Fulham v Chelsea - Craven Cottage

Yossi Benayoun, ex-Chelsea: Looks both painfully vegan and well-acquainted with the taste of human flesh, all at the same time.

Soccer - Barclays Premier League - Crystal Palace v Arsenal - Selhurst Park

Mesut Ozil, Arsenal: Blinks sideways and sheds his skin fortnightly.

suarez

Luis Suarez, Liverpool: If you had to design a latex, prosthetic mask for a horror movie character raised by rats in the sewers of Montevideo…

Soccer - Barclays Premier League - Crystal Palace v Fulham - Selhurst Park

Dimitar Berbatov, Fulham: This man definitely looks like he’s got a disassembled rifle and a pair of leather gloves stashed away in a secret compartment in his car boot.

Soccer - Barclays Premier League - Crystal Palace v Arsenal - Selhurst Park

Marouane Chamakh, Crystal Palace: Quite clearly the leader of a subterranean sect of fur-coated giraffe-people who’s very life-force begins to drain upon contact with daylight.

rooney-hair

Wayne Rooney, Man Utd: Football’s sole representative from the lobotomite community.

Any more footballing nasties we’ve missed? Who’d make your Halloween XI?
