The scallywags over at Paladar Negro have re-imagined the likes of Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar and a few more star names from either side of the El Clasico divide as footballers from a bygone era – complete with period-correct facial hair, etc.

Some of the trading card-style photoshop jobs are more convincing than others if we’re brutally honest, but nevertheless we enjoy the fact that someone out there has taken the time to make them all a reality…

Lovely stuff.

These ‘Cracks of All Time’ cards are a bit of a staple over on Paladar Negro, so feel free to venture over there and peruse a few more of their collections.
