    George Elokobi has just joined Nottingham Forest on loan for the rest of the season. While new additions to the squad will clearly be a fillip for their side, I have rarely seen a less flattering mug shot of a new signing:

    So what I want to know is whose photo was the least flattering/least inspiring when signing for your club?

    tbf to the photographer I'm not sure what angle would make this man attractive...can't believe he's physically fit.

    There was a photo on the BBC Football Southampton website, the other week, which showed Ryan Doble in an action shot. However, they'd cropped the shot to head and shoulders, and Ryan's smirk made him look like a twerp. ;)

    Thing is he is too physically fit, he is built like a tank. Hence why he can hardly run etc.

    I suppose Socrates on the bench for Garforth Town aged 50 is worth a mention.

    Yes, plays fir Cobblers and when I last watched them play I was delighted to see a pro footballer with a bigger rear than mine!

    Mind you, he turned on a sixpence and scored two crackers that day.
