Just about every footballer has a hobby to keep him occupied in his copious amounts of spare time. New York Red Bulls defender Jan Gunnar Solli is a DJ with his own music label. Michael Owen, the Manchester United mascot striker (really? that’s kind of playing fast and loose with the definition, isn’t it?) has a stable of racehorses. Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny takes pictures of his teammates while they’re asleep.
Although a relatively new pastime for the vowel-challenged shot-stopper, he’s taken to it with great gusto. He’s already snagged winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain:
Defensive pairing Thomas Vermaelen and Per Mertesacker:
And an almost-zonked Ignasi Miquel:
It wasn’t long before someone turned the tables, with Oxlade-Chamberlain snapping this one of Szczesny himself dead to the world.
You know, it’s nice to see footballers having some harmless fun and doing something besides racially abusing each other.
