Be it England star David Beckham who inked his body to celebrate each of his professional and personal achievements or the current heart-throb and Portuguese and Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo who cares a lot about the way he looks - footballers are as much icons off the field as they are on it.
While their skills and on-field exploits mesmerise millions of fans across the world, the beautiful game's players are some of the most attractive and glamorous faces and a hit among the fashionistas for their style statement.
With cameras capturing their every move, footballers aren't only famous for their footy skills but they also get recognised with their tattooed bodies, hairstyles and clothing.
Spanish star Cesc Fabregas's inspiring elbow tattoo has gained popularity whereas Barcelona defender Gerard Pique, who signed as the fashion brand ambassador for Mango, has raised the trade graph across the world.
No matter how they perform on the field, their style statements continue to sizzle fans.
Always game to display their newly crafted look or inked body, these football cum fashion stars are a rage on the social media with youngsters minutely bisecting their each and every move.
Though Italian star striker Mario Balotelli and his team made a hasty exit from the ongoing World Cup, his 'Godzilla' haircut was a big eye-catcher. Sporting a sparkling diamond stud, his funky appearance has been grabbing eyeballs.
And one of the fastest-rising stars, the 22-year-old Brazilian striker Neymar has been attracting fans as much with his football skills as with the mohawk and tattooed skin, while his Barcelona team-mate and Argentine star Messi has been hogging the limelight with his boyish charm.
'Man of few words' Daniel Alves and Argentina winger Ezequiel Lavezzi's inked bodies speak for their Catholic beliefs and the loyalty towards their clubs. Former French striker Djibril Cisse seems to love using his body as a canvas, as his whole upper body is tattooed with various ancient art tributes.
However, With all the money, hype, media and fame involved in football, the players sometimes get carried away in making a style statement. But fans don't complain as long as the goals and wins keep falling at their feet.
