Berbatov was a very rare kind of player, he made difficult things seem so effortless and the way he glided through the pitch was unique, definitely one of the most elegant footballers ever, his style made him special
@@godwinoyibo7237 Absolutely, that's another great one who did magical things look effortless. I find it impressive when tall players like Kanu, Ibrahimovic.. can have such ball control. It would be sad if they had a.. let's say, Lukaku's first touch.
When ronaldo was playing for Corinthians he had 115kg and 3 major knee injuries for many this is enough to even make a run in a park but this guy was so better than others that he got brazilian cup champion! He is playing with just pure talent
Interesting fact about Faulk, when he moved to Chelsea, they realised that the man was a crowd puller, and to highlight this, put two small boys behind his goal, who were there to also distract the opposition. These boys would often collect and return the balls which went out of play behind the goal and hence, ball boys were born.
according to this video being athletic means not too short, not too tall, not too muscular, not too fat, not too thin, not eating fast food and not smoking.
Pirlo could be easily on this list. No pace and power but still was a great dribbler and could get past people with ease. Not to talk about his other qualities...
I'd add Jimmy Greaves. He hated training and during a match would wander round with his marker, sledging him. Then suddenly he would take two quick steps and score a goal.
Berbatov was perhaps the biggest shame out of them all. He could have been one of the greatest ManU legends and a legend for his national team if only he was a bit more serious about his work ethic.
Elton is 5'1" and he still had a nice professional career? Definitely not unathletic. He had to overcome a lot every game to even compete with the pros.
you missed Ozil, he couldn't last for 70 minutes without exhausting himself. and I disagree with Berbatov, you can call him lazy, but he should not be considered to be on the list. He has a decent pace and body strength to do what he did, and he was rarely sub off for lacking stamina. there is a difference between lazy and not being athletic. just because he focus himself to time his run, it doesn't mean he is not athletic.
Ozil actually run the most in the team and amongst the most in the league. That the reason he barely last 70 mins and beside if the opponents managed to stop him for effecting the game before he was sub, they would still able to do that when he was tired. In his first season, he ate more hamburgers to put more body mass on. The whole thing about him being lazy is just a media meme. Same reason they complained about the mentality of any players of a losing team. Any players in the top level already have strong mentality.
lol Ronaldo on this list, even being over +90 kgs he was faster and stronger than 99% of the defenders He should be on top 5 of MOST athletic footballers
Jeroen Verhoeven was a Dutch goalie who (not too long ago) even played for Ajax. Every time he would take a goal kick the crowd would slowly build up a 'woooooooow' and scream 'pizza!' as soon as he hit the ball. If you Google him you'll get the reference.

Also, enjoyed a cigarette or two off the field, lol. Berba the Great!
He’s just like James harden in the nba
Kanu Nwankwo has the same technique as Berbatov
@@godwinoyibo7237 Absolutely, that's another great one who did magical things look effortless. I find it impressive when tall players like Kanu, Ibrahimovic.. can have such ball control. It would be sad if they had a.. let's say, Lukaku's first touch.
Berbatov put in just enough energy to get maximum results.
Berba used to jog past players effortlessly. I miss him a Man Utd.
Yeah well he ran at about 3mph so it wasnt hard. He ran marathons not 100m sprints. Guy was like a sloth getting around the pitch.
why run when you can just walk past them...
R9 went out of shape later in his career, in his prime, only a small percentage of humans could outpace him.
When ronaldo was playing for Corinthians he had 115kg and 3 major knee injuries for many this is enough to even make a run in a park but this guy was so better than others that he got brazilian cup champion! He is playing with just pure talent
One guy you should’ve included is John Hartson absolute legend for Celtic but he literally looked like a pub footballer
Can’t remember his name but that keeper who started munching on his pie in a game legend
Wayne Shaw
@@aaaabbbb2483 Luke shaw as well

Let’s not take the piss here
@@aaaabbbb2483 I’m not

You are. He was talking about former Sutton United goalkeeper Wayne Shaw in the comment, why do you have to bring up Luke Shaw?
Akinfenwa next level strong don’t want to put him in an unfit label

Can You Do a Video on Unusual Goal Scores Example Lampard Scoring 303 Goals Despite Being A Mid Fielder
5:13 he was floating mid air 😳
What ,it's just a jump in slow motion
@@Johnjoby7 haha yes I know
Berba never had to sprint to the ball because he was already there.
according to this video being athletic means not too short, not too tall, not too muscular, not too fat, not too thin, not eating fast food and not smoking.
Great vid! I would add the great Mario Jardel and the GOAT God Diego Mara-mara-maradona!
Ronaldo was diagnosed with HYPOthyroidism. Dudes far from unathletic
Edit: Fuckin' 'Know-it-alls'
The fuck is hyperthyroidism
@@officialkieran48 makes you put weight on or some metabolic shit.
@@alphawhiskey8042 ok
Should have never been on the list...
It’s hypothyroidism that makes you fat, hyperthyroidism makes you skinny af.
Eden Hazard at real
Harry maguire...Neil Ruddock...
akinfenwa is surprisingly athletic he runs for a bout an hour a day (as i see on his sc storys)
Pirlo could be easily on this list. No pace and power but still was a great dribbler and could get past people with ease. Not to talk about his other qualities...
Sokrates definitely deserves to be in this vid. The second lankiest dude I've ever seen play, after only the inevitable Peter Crouch.
Mickey Quinn the barrel bellied Newcastle and Coventry striker?
Good content
I was First
@@rukminikannan9779 okay do we care
Tomas Brolin of Sweden. Fantastic player but loved food. Now owns a couple of restaurants
I seriously hope Harry Maguire wouldn't turn out to be like William Faulke.
I'd add Jimmy Greaves. He hated training and during a match would wander round with his marker, sledging him. Then suddenly he would take two quick steps and score a goal.
Bernd Schuster played basically limping from 1982 to retirement. Still, one of the best ever
lukaku
‘Here are the least athletic footballers of all time’
*shows peter crouch*
Berbatov was perhaps the biggest shame out of them all.
He could have been one of the greatest ManU legends and a legend for his national team if only he was a bit more serious about his work ethic.
Do you know the things he has passed troughout his life?
He already is wtf
@@happylind841
A legend for Bulgaria, yeah. One of the greatest Man Utd legends? No. You can name many greater legends.
@@calamorta okay name 5 bigger ST legends for United than him in the last 10-15 years
@@happylind841 youve got him there😂
idk why but the 1st one remineded me of Harry the fridge Maguire
Should hv played the ksi clip when u mentioned Akinfenwa
Where is Ferenc Puskas ?
Riquelme should be here. He never ran, but he didn't need to because of his technical hability.
Mido, van der vaart, sneijder, hazard, adriano,
I don't think the people involved in making this vid know what 'Athletic' means. Half of the guys on this list shouldn't even be on it
R9 probably the best striker ever.
Take out 'probably'
William Folke is the guy who are same as my big ass fat belly friends who always play as GK every evening or during PE class football match
le tissier is one of the best players i have ever seen so doesn't really make a difference
William Carvalho
Just kidding, but damn he a really slow xD
You missed on Eden hazard
the first guy the typical kid in goal keeping in the street
Ronaldo was a lean, mean, dribbling machine before he turned his knee inside out. Was still better than everyone else 2stone overweight
Elton is 5'1" and he still had a nice professional career? Definitely not unathletic. He had to overcome a lot every game to even compete with the pros.
So did chautemoc blanco lmao
Lothar Mattheus (late in his career)
Luka Toni from Italy ?

Where Pirlo at
Akinfenwa is a meme guy, he should have borned at USA, would be a great Lineman.
shush
Lukaku and Hazard.
No puskas?
Ferenc Puskas should be included in this
Ariana grande😂😂😂😂
Ansu fati 🤣🤣
Ailton?
Ronaldo humiliated even when he was injured
John Hartson should have been on this video.
You can't put r9 in this list at all
Even Puskás and Maradona were a little fatty in their last professional years.
Football Greats? That's your clickbait?
Ferenc Puskás as well
akinfenwa is a beast
Athletic doesnt equal ripped
This guy doesn't the definition of athleticism

Footballers are athletes now when in the past they were footballers. It’s why players like rashford get exposed as they have no football brain!
Ronaldino
Did u see his build that guy was mad strong
@@philipwillock461 True, But his party habit?
Yes but athletics obsessio is ruining football. Nowadays footballers have no skill or flair just ran around trying to stop the opposition.
