Some fans get upset when players decide to swap shirts at halftime, but I think it’s fair to say that an involuntary undressing during a match is far worse.
On a corner kick during a Leicester’s 1-0 win against Crystal Palace, Scott Dann pulled Robert Huth’s shirt clean off his body. And yet, the referee didn’t think there was any problem with it, despite the Leicester defender’s protests.
The January transfer window has mercifully shut, ending an underwhelming month that had no chance of living up to the hype that was forced upon it. And if there was one image to sum it up, it had to be that of defender Robert Huth, sent from Stoke to Leicester on loan until the end of the season, sullenly holding up his new shirt.
And if there were five images to sum it up, the other four would be these of 74-year-old Aaron Lennon…

But Huth and Lennon are far from the first players to look like they just watched Requiem for a Dream before being unveiled by a new club. Here are just a few others.
