There's some pretty sexy Blue Steel from the two boys here...
The modern footballer is generally considered to be pretty stylish with their skinny jeans, tight t-shirts and snapback hats making them look someway presentable in front of their WAGs' mammy. However, this wasn't always the case.
The late '90s were a strange time for a lot of reasons with Aqua, B*witched and Steps all topping the charts. That was disturbing enough but fashion back then was even more disturbing and we've a few lovely examples here for you.
We're delighted to introduce you to Irish footballers and part-time models Mick McCarthy and Shay Given who hit the big time by landing a contract with Penneys just before the turn of the millennium.
These pictures showed up on
FootballRepublic.ie and we couldn't love them more...
Mick rocking the "President of the local golf club" look...
Shay rocking the 'son dressed by his overprotective mammy' look...
The 'Father and Son on Christmas morning' look...
