It’s funny, for the first split second after I clicked on the photo, I thought, “Oh, they look alike!” And then I looked closer and thought, “No, they don’t.” But there was that little jolt of recognition at the start — I just can’t figure out what caused it.

I found the 2006 article where the reporter was interviewing people from his native (very humble) neighborhood:
http://www.liberation.fr/actualite/sports/192329.FR.php
Excerpt: “he was bored as sh*t playing with kids his age” “He had something nobody else had. But his brother François, who plays in Calais, is even better technically” (Biloute played with both, in Boulogne)”some phenomenons”

So the next step was to go to the Calais website
http://www.calaisfoot.fr/
and there he was! To see the face of François Ribéry, go to the
drop-down menu, Championnats>Equipe, then hover the mouse on the name.
And the guy’s face should replace the very ugly mascot (it works most of the time). I’d say there is definitely a resemblance specially in the eyes and the forehead. And obviously he’s also a prankster.
So there you have it! The guy who is “even better” than Ribéry
