As all people do, footballers have changed massively over the years and not just in their ability or skillset.

The older you get, the more your face and your body changes, that's just fact. But there are always some people who you can just tell the look of from a younger picture of them.

There are millions and millions of footballers in the world, but we've compiled a list of some of the biggest names in the sport with a twist.

We've taken a picture from their childhood or simply from when they were younger and all you have to do is guess who it is by writing their name down.
