Belgian footballing timber  Marouane Fellaini found himself at the centre of attention this week and not just because Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho inexplicably chose to start him over Paul Pogba and Juan Mata for the UEFA Champions League last-16 second leg match against Sevilla. 

The release of a series of  images from a photo shoot for British GQ magazine threatened to overshadow the match itself, with one picture in particular earning the internet's mirth. 

The lanky 30 year-old of polarising playing ability but a thoroughly transcendent afro, conjured images of Mickey Mouse when the shots were released - his normally bountiful bouffant split into two tightly-bound tufts of fuzz.

 The online community responded more swiftly than a Sevilla counter-attack:

So in honour of Fallaini's artistic bonce, the cultural analysts at beIN SPORTS compiled a list of iconic figures, landmarks and objects that sprung to mind upon seeing the Belgian's lustrous locks bunched into tight tufts.
