Alia Shawkat, AKA Maeby from the American sitcom Arrested Development, looks like Liverpool's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. At least I think so anyway. That bombshell is something I've wanted to get off my chest for a while. People may argue otherwise, but their is something I can't quite pin down that links the two.
This revelation then it got me thinking of other tenuous football lookalikes and thus this article was born. Don't expect to agree with all of them but here are 12 of the most left field football lookalikes I could think of.
1. Rui Faria/Joey Barton
A fairly straightforward one to begin. Have you ever seen them in the same room?
2. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain/Maeby from Arrrested Development
The one that inspired this article. The freckles are what does it for me.
3. Ciaran Clark/Ethan Hawke
I'm very proud of this one. The Newcastle defender a dead ringer for the Boyhood actor.
4. Sean St Ledger/Mark Wahlberg
When not dating Taylor Swift, St Ledger spends his time looking kind of like Mark Wahlberg.
5. Leighton Baines/Miles Kane
The Everton full back has been likened to Paul Weller in the past but I reckon Baines has more in common with the Last Shadow Puppets singer.
6. Olivier Giroud/Woody Woodpecker
The hair, the nose. It just makes sense. Marco Reus also could've been used in Giroud's place.
7. Luis Suarez/Richard Gere
I may have lost the arse with this one.
8. Fernando Torres/Tommy from 'Love/Hate'

Templeogue BC came up trumps with a brilliant shout.
9. Roy Carroll/Jamie Lannister
Don't think anyone can have any complaints about this one. They must be distantly related.
10. Kevin Kilbane/Kurt Russell

There's some similarites, mainly their piercing blue eyes, but it's definitely a hail mary play from Irish Football Pics.
11. Dennis Irwin/Carlos The Jackal

The former Manchester United full back has the misfortune of bearing a mig mightily similar to the Venezuelan terrorist.
12. Henrikh Mkhitaryan/Klinger from MASH

Sarah O'Toole with a very deep cut.
