Football or Football or Futbol or Soccer or..

[The Reality Salesman01]

I can't believe I haven't thought of this yet, but here goes. Since there's so many of you from the opposite side of "the pond" from me. I was curious. What do you English think of American Football (not soccer or Footie)? How many players do you know, and vice versa. I am a huge sports fan, and know very few players in The Premier League, but for an American, the fact that I even know what The Premier League is, is quite a rare piece of knowledge, at least, in my experience. I thought it would be fun to post some guys that are commonly known around here in the states, and see which Europeans could identify them. Likewise, feel free to post pics of notorious Soccer players (footie), and prepare to be astounded at the ones I don't know at all! Might be fun to see what comes of this. Americans can post Baseball or NFL Football players. Europeans can post English Football or Rugby players. Deal? Anyway, here's a player from my favorite team that's pretty commonly known around here. Who is he, and what team is this? Europeans only please! No Google!
