Dave Mussard who is a chubby goalkeeper
has become an internet sensation following his physical size which is rare. Nigeria
ran out comprehensive 3-0 winners against the Seychelles on Saturday – but it
was an opposition player who caught the most attention, according to The Sun.
Seychelles goalkeeper, Dave
Mussard, is not your average international goalkeeper. The 31-year-old is a
pastry chef by day with Hotel Patatran on La Digue Island.
Such is his dedication to his job, he
takes 15 minute boat rides to work after training sessions. However, Mussard,
became a social media hit on Saturday for one reason only – the fact he’s
bigger than most footballers.
Mussard’s robust and bulky physique
was immediately picked up on social media, with images of the heavy keeper
circulating.
Ultimately, his physique became
the main point of interest for many watching the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations
qualification clash. One social media cheekily compared Mussard to Brazil
legend Ronaldo, while many Nigerian supporters weighed in with their opinions
on the former.
It’s safe to say the general
consensus from the Super Eagles fans on Twitter was one which was relieved they
didn’t have Mussard in goal.
Some even likened him to a bank
manager, as well as a professor. Seychelles, who are bottom of Group E, take on
South Africa next on Thursday – with Mussard set to feature once more.
