Both of them plays in the forward position and while Munez took Newcastle to the Champions League play-off, Sunil took the Indian Football team to the Asian Cup 2011 after a gap of 27 years.

2. GOURMANGI SINGH and BRUCE LEE

3.ROBIN SINGH and BINDU DARA SINGH

The similarities between the two is too hard to not notice. Look at their eyes, look at their smile, look at their nose, look at their eyebrows. DAMN !

They are so similar, that in fact, both of them are known for their strengths. Whenever there is a need for a muscular actor , directors calls up Bindu whereas when coaches need someone to run through the opponents defence, Robin Singh is called up.

4.JO PAUL ANCHERI and MUKESH BHATT

Ancheri a prominent footballer from Kerala who played for India from 1992 to 2004 and has also captained the Indian team, looks a lot like actor Mukesh Bhatt who was a part of movies like Rocket Singh, A wednesday and Special 26.

5. JACKIE CHAN and BAICHUNG BHUTIA
