It is the Englishman Iain Dowie, an unknown athlete in Brazil who has already worn the shirt of the also little renowned Crystal Palace and Charlton. After leaving the lawns in 2008, in the 2009 season the ugly man took on the role of assistant coach at Newcastle United.
The honorable title was conferred by the English tabloid The Sun, which used a devastating phrase to define Dowie’s aesthetic: Imagine a little of each of the ugliest personalities. That’s Iain Dowie. The young man may forgive us, but, in fact, he does not excel in beauty: he has eyes that are too deep, disproportionately small ears, a crooked mouth and he always seems to be crying. The Sun’s fierce list also features a Brazilian idol, Ronaldinho Gaúcho. Elected twice by Fifa as the best in the world, the Milan attacking midfielder took fourth place in the category dog sucking mango, behind Englishman Luke Chadwick, who plays for Milton Keynes Dons, and Dutchman Dirk Kuyt, from Liverpool.
