Giuseppe Mascara- striker for Calcio Catania


It has been said that Chelsea's Frank Lampard is the football player who most resembles a rodent. With his beady eyes, pointy nose, and large, protruding ears, it is true that Lampard reminds many fans of a large, blue-shirted mouse. However, there may be another player, Catania's Giuseppe Mascara , who looks even more like one. In addition to the beady eyes, pointy nose, and large, protruding ears that Lampard has, Mascara has truly jagged, rat-like teeth. Playing in Sicily for one of Serie A's less well-known teams, Mascara has not attracted the attention that comes from playing in London for one of the world's greatest teams. However, Mascara has had an outstanding season so far this year, and some believe that he may even be called up to the Italian national team.
As for his resemblance to a mouse, you can judge for yourself in the photograph below. Notice, however, that Mascara's shirt is light blue and red, not the deep, royal blue of Chelsea.
