TWO former Premier League stars looked completely unrecognisable as they recently lined-up for Real Madrid in a legends match.
One was a Croatian striker that was almost unplayable at the 1998 World Cup.
Two former Prem stars looked unrecognisable as they returned to match action
The pair both played recently for a Real Madrid legends team
One of the icons posed with ex-ref Mark Halsey and posted the snap on Twitter
The hotshot grabbed the Golden Boot as he fired his team to a fourth-place finish and eventually ended up as his country’s all-time top scorer.
Domestically, he starred for Sevilla before going on to shine at Real Madrid during a three-year spell from 1996.
Then, to a lesser extent, the ace headed to England to join Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal for a season before moving across London to West Ham for a 12-month stint.
He scored eight goals in 22 Premier League appearances for the Gunners, with just two in 11 for the Hammers, and then moved to Germany to finish his career at 1860 Munich.
The ex-forward was then president of the Croatian Football Federation.
Meanwhile, the other was a team-mate of the Croatian striker briefly at the Bernabeu after Real snapped him up from Mallorca in 1998.
He became a huge favourite and a stand-out star due to his famed perm haircut, winning the Champions League twice at Madrid.
However, he was shipped out on loan to Bolton Wanderers in the 2002/03 campaign and eventually made that move permanent.
Under Sam Allardyce, the Spanish international midfielder played for the Trotters for another five years and achieved icon status at the club before going on to join Ipswich Town for a season prior to ending his career at Cypriot club AEK Larnaca.
The two players in question, of course, are Davor Suker and Ivan Campo.
The pair were recently reunited as they starred for a Real Madrid legends team.
An ex-Premier League referee was also involved with Mark Halsey being the man in charge of the action.
And Campo, now 49, even shared a shot of himself with the whistleblower and captioned it with: “Today I was with a special person and big friend : @RefereeHalsey.
“Very very very happy to see you again in Orihuela playing with @VeteranosRM.”
He also posted numerous other shots from the match, including one with him next to now 55-year-old Suker.
And some of his followers were quick to jump into the comments, with one writing: “Look at those legends.”
“Dream team right there,” declared another as a fellow fan tweeted: “Ivan Campo Ivan Campo my hero … Baller end of .. love this man ..”
And the two men both showed they still possessed some of the magic as they helped Madrid to a 5-0 win over an Alicante XI thanks to a brace from Edwin Congo and goals from Jose Amavisca, Fernando Moran and Alberto Rivera.
