I Will Follow: The Port FC Instagram League Table
Back in the old days of Bovril, half-time oranges and jockstraps, we rated footballers using such vague, inaccurate criteria as goals scored, medals won, international caps and so on. Thankfully in the digital age we have a much more precise metric to assess just how good footballers are – Instagram followers. So with the assistance of my lovely wife (and keen Instagrammer) Linny, I’ve ranked Port’s players based on how many people are following them on Instagram (with the exceptions of Kim and Chakrit, neither of whom appear to be on Instagram).
Note that all of these figures are dwarfed by our fragrant chairwoman Madam Pang, who has over 350,000 followers.
Nurul – 176,195
The wee fella has clearly benefitted from national team action, and is by far the most-followed Port star with over twice as many followers as his nearest challenger. Here he is celebrating with the time-honoured cunnilingus gesture.
Pakorn – 81,893
The Midfield Monk may not be a national team player yet but he’s Port’s second most followed player. Here he is with his mum. Awwwww.
Siwakorn – 72,476
Completing Port’s top 3 is yellow card collector and unlikely midfield hard man Siwakorn. He may put it about on the pitch but his Instagram feed is pure kawaii.
Terens – 59,781
Bodin – 17,761
Boskovic – 15,604
Nitipong – 14,949
Todsapol – 10,573
Kevin – 10,359
Rochela – 8,637
Worawut (defender) – 5,317
Worawut (goalkeeper) – 4,487
Arthit – 4,156
Suarez – 3,614
Jetjinn – 3,298
Dolah – 3,153
Rattanai – 2,306
Pummared – 1,069
Adisorn – 795
Panpanpong – 646
