Summary/Abstract: The article concentrates on ways the body of a football player is described in the Internet sport information section of two Polish tabloids: “Super Express” and “Fakt”. Portraying the body of the footballers, their emotions and behaviour, the author does not present actual players but characters who to a great extent are the products of the media. The outcome is an incomplete anatomical atlas of the footballer’s body, reconstructed upon the basis of a certain set of texts.
