I love the Pro Evolution Soccer franchise. I always will. Gun to my head, give me Pro Evolution Soccer 4/5/6 over the latest iteration of FIFA every single day of every single year.
The license dodging player names - Roberto Larcos, Ruud Vom Mistelroum - didn't bother me. Nor did the fact my favourite team (West Midlands Village) were called 'West Midlands Village'. Our badge had a unicorn on it. A fucking unicorn!
In a way, it all added to the charm. Pro Evo was much more fun than FIFA, in every aspect, and that's all that mattered in the pre-online age, before Ultimate Team packs and your win record took over.
Let's celebrate a simpler time in the only way we can: by going through all of the horrendous design malfunctions that led to some of the worst faces ever seen in a video game.
Here they are, the digital misfits and the weirdos, so just squint your eyes, click and hope for the best.
