PIC: The greatest picture of a young Louis van Gaal ever

Louis does his best 'blue steel' in this pen pic from the 1970's

We think this picture, rather than Kim Kardashian, should break the internet

If we are honest, none of us would want to see pictures of us with dodgy hair, bad skin and some questionable facial hairstyles from years ago surfacing online. But enough about SportsJOE’s confirmation day.

Louis van Gaal  has one of the most recognisable faces in world sport acquired over many years at the helm of some of the greatest clubs to have ever kicked a football.

But a picture today shows a gentler softer side to the Dutchman with this frankly hilarious profile shot from his early days at Antwerp.

Our Dutch is a bit rusty but the article is all about ‘the hidden history of Louis van Gall.’

Sounds interesting but we’re still too distracted by the amazing necklace with his name on it to read/google translate.
