Buffon would be someone like this guy.

Goalkeeper at Juventus and also world cup winner with Italy.
I think the word you're looking for is buffoon.
From Wikipedia.
Strictly, a buffoon describes a "ridiculous, but nevertheless
amusing person." In the broad terms, a buffoon is a clownish,
publicly amusing person, such as a court jester. In the more modern
sense, the term is frequently used in a derogatory sense to
describe someone considered a public fool, or someone whose inappropriately vulgar, bumbling or
ridiculous behavior is a source of general amusement.
However, all this is pretty much off-topic regarding the AFC
issue.
