We all know that football players are as healthy and athletic as ever these days. Not all of them though, there are still some players and managers around that love having a little smoke here and there. We have found 25 players and managers who smoke cigarettes. Light ’em up!
25. Marco Veratti
The little Italian midfielder is not always in the starting 11, could his smoking habits have anything to do with that? During the summer he loves to ‘light em up’. Who knows, maybe quitting smoking will help him in his career.
24. Mesut Ozil
His nickname is the Black Raven and we could actually see how that works. His lungs must be black as tar given the fact that he just loves to smoke. How can you compete and smoke at the same time? Ouch, Mesut.
23. Wesley Sneijder
Wesley was probably never one of the healthiest players during his career. He loved to drink a few drinks and he absolutely adored his smokes. Since his career ended he has gained a whole lot of weight and he started smoking up to a pack a day. Woops.
22. Zinedine Zidane
The legendary Frenchman was not only good at headbutting opponents but he als knew how to relax off the pitch. During his active career he kept his smoking habits to a minimum but afterwards he indulged in it.
21. Neymar Jr.
One of the most annoying football players in the world is definitely Neymar Jr. No wonder that his annoying habits also extend off the pitch. A nasty cigarette habit plagued him during the start of his European career. Since then he has stopped but he is still as annoying as ever.
