He might look exactly like Austin Power’s Mini-Me, but he has the energy and temper of someone of a much larger size—and that’s exactly what the New York Red Bulls like about forward Luke Rodgers. According to SoccerInferno sports toolbar, Rodgers stands only 5-foot-7, but he makes up for what he lacks in height with a rugged, all-out playing style that’s helped the Red Bulls secure more than a few wins. The 29-year-old Brit even made recent headlines when he dared to call out fan favorite Landon Donovan for shouting at linemen and cursing at referees. That doesn’t go to say that Rodgers himself brings a clean slate to the game, however; He has numerous charges in England for drunken bar fights and even one for accidentally wounding a teenage girl with fireworks. Despite his past, Rodgers’ teammates are more than happy to have him aboard.

“I love Luke Rodgers,” said Bouna Coundoul, goalkeeper for the Red Bulls, in an interview with ESPN. “He’s the type of guy who is going to fight from the beginning until the end. He can create chances out of nothing. There’s few forwards in this league who follow all the chances until the end [the way he does]. When he plays against you, he’s a headache, because he keeps knocking, knocking, knocking, until he gets something out of it. I love playing with him—a nice guy to have on your team.”
