A LOT was made of Lee Chapman - aka Jamie Vardy 2.0 - last season as Leicester went on to win the league.

Chapman's 'fame' led to him even being blocked on social media by the real Mr Vardy... Ouch.

IF you've seen the Sacha Baron Cohen move Bruno, you may have noticed the title character resembles a certain someone...

...That's right former Liverpool and Chelsea man Fernando Torres. The hair, the baby-face, it's uncanny.

NOT only have both Benzema and LaBeouf been in trouble in recent years, they also share another similarity.

THERE are a whole host of wannabe lookalikes in the world, hoping to cash in a quick buck just for being born lucky.

Well, there are one or two who genuinely look pretty similar, and Harmer looks pretty similar to England legend Becks.

SEEING double? Sort of.

Liverpool manager Klopp was on set filming an advert for Phillips with his absolute dead ringer.

Unfortunately for the doppelganger he didn't get the memo that morning... Shave. It's a Phillips ad after all.

THERE'S only one Zlatan, the man himself would like to say.

Or, perhaps, there are two... Judge for yourself.
