England Footballer Unrecognisable in Hulk Hogan Costume

A former England striker stunned fans after appearing completely transformed while celebrating his youngest daughter’s 18th birthday dressed as Hulk Hogan. The celebration took place on Saturday and quickly drew attention online.

The ex-footballer, once a prolific goal-scorer for Liverpool, Real Madrid, Newcastle United, Manchester United, and Stoke City, also represented the England national team before retiring in 2013.

After hanging up his boots, he turned to horse racing as a breeder and owner and began working as a sports pundit and commentator. He married his childhood sweetheart, Louise, in 2005, and together they have three children.

His eldest daughter made headlines in 2022 after finishing as runner-up on the reality show Love Island. The sportsman also collaborated with his son, who lives with Stargardt disease—a rare degenerative eye condition—on a documentary titled Football is for Everyone, aimed at raising awareness about sight loss.

"The father-of-three looked worlds away from his usual self as he hosted an extravagant fancy dress party for his youngest child."

At the event, the legendary forward fully embraced his costume, donning the iconic look of the American wrestling star while posing for photos with his wife Louise. The picture captured a lighter, family-oriented side of the celebrated sportsman.
