<\/p>\nOver the years, football has been full of teams and players who have punched above their weight on the pitch.<\/p>\n
But plenty of top-flight stars have followed that mantra off the pitch too.<\/p>\n
Yes, we're talking about when they score with a beautiful woman despite not necessarily being blessed in the looks department themselves.<\/p>\n
Many, who it is fair to say are no oil paintings, have had serious relationships with stunning models, actresses or the 'girl next door.'<\/p>\n
Here are some of the Premier League players who were as successful off the field as they have been on it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The former England and Liverpool star is always good for a soundbite, none more so when asked what he would be if he wasn't a footballer.<\/p>\n
"A virgin," was his quick-witted response.<\/p>\n
The striker, standing at 6ft7, may think his football riches contributed to his initial tryst with stunning model Abbey Clancy.<\/p>\n
The beautiful blonde WAG is now a media personality in her own right, winning series 11 of Strictly Come Dancing and featured on other reality TV shows.<\/p>\n
The couple met in 2006 and married in 2011. They share children Sophia, nine, Liberty, five, Johnny, three and 19-month-old Jack.<\/p>\n

The mum-of-four has found herself in a WAG war with Jamie Vardy's wife Rebekah in recent times, and their marriage has occasionally hit the front-page headlines.<\/p>\n
But the couple share children Kai, 11, Klay, seven, Kit, five, and Cass, two, and look like sticking together through thick and thin. <\/p>\n

The former Liverpool and Stoke star might be the first to admit he's not the best looking footballer to ever play the game.<\/p>\n
Fans were shocked when a photo released last January showed Adam's rapid ageing, but that didn't stop him bagging a stunner in his younger days.<\/p>\n

Amine is said to have had assurances that she will be making a programme in Turkey.<\/p>\n

The ex-Liverpool ace possesses some of the most distinctive teeth in football.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\nTom Brady\u2019s net worth is still only half the amount of his wife Gisele Bundchen<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Sofia's family moved to Barcelona in 2003 and that is said to have focused Suarez's dedication to football so he could move to Europe and be with her.<\/p>\n
The couple married in 2009 and have children Delfina, Benjamin and Lauti.<\/p>\n

Van der Meyde's once promising career descended into a spiral of sex, gambling and depression.<\/p>\n
It cost him his marriage to beautiful blonde Diana Grifhorst, the mum of his two daughters.<\/p>\n
During his time playing in the Premier League for Everton, van der Meyde started an affair with a stripper from Liverpool named Lisa.<\/p>\n
He said of the tryst: "I saw a brunette and I wanted to have sex. But after I'd had sex with Lisa once I was addicted, she was wild, crazy and horny.<\/p>\n
"I said to my ex-wife that I wanted to go to a hotel because I was injured at the time and I needed some rest.<\/p>\n
"But that was not the case \u2013 I was just cheating on her."<\/p>\n
