A VERY successful star of the football world is unrecognisable as he struts down the catwalk in unearthed clip – but can YOU guess who it is?
Pep Guardiola may be one of the most famous faces in football after helping Manchester City seal a historic Treble at the Etihad.
However his talents extend far beyond the pitch, as this resurfaced video appears to show – for at one stage, he was turning heads in the fashion world too.
The popular Manchester City manager, 52, from Barcelona, Spain, took to the catwalk for Spanish designer Antonio Miró in 1993 — at the same time he was starting for his home team.
In a clip which has since resurfaced on Instagram account meninblazers, Guardiola can be seen modelling a cream polo shirt with stylish horizontal stripes.
With his dark features, chiseled bone structure, and slim build, Guardiola cut a striking figure in a sharp pinstripe suit.

According to a report on soccergator.io, the decision to take part in the show angered the then Barcelona manager Johan Cruyff, who reprimanded Guardiola.
The caption posted alongside the clip describes the footage of the young Guardiola as ‘mind-blowing’.
The post has garnered almost 97,000 likes as well as a number of complimentary comments.
One woman could barely contain her excitement, stating simply: ‘oh my god’.
Other Instagram users exclaimed ‘wow’ and shared that they thought Guardiola was ‘extremely handsome’.
One wrote: ‘Bro is majestic.’
Another added: ‘The beauty could not be contained to football.’
One commented: ‘He looks well different’, while another said the clip was taken ‘a whole lot of hair ago.’
Others still observed that he didn’t look especially thrilled to be taking part in the catwalk show.

Since 2016 when Guardiola joined Manchester City as manager, the team’s star has only soared.
The players’ success under Guardiola culminated on June 10 when they won the UEFA Champions League final, beating Inter Milan 1-0 in Istanbul.
Under Guardiola’s direction, Manchester City has become one of a small number of teams to pick up three major trophies in one season, winning the Premier League and the FA cup as well as the UEFA Champions League.
