@RO3E, it's good you paid attention to my first point, but there were actually two others: use remove.bg, and include a collar. 3rd time lucky?

@RO3E, not bad, but we want the player's face to fill the canvas for the 250px cutout, which would mean cropping the image along these red lines:
There should only be 2-3 pixels above and beneath the head and we also want all cuts to include a little bit of collar. Since in some sources like this one, the person in the image may have a longer neck than usual, this would be quite difficult to achieve naturally.
Here's a video of the process on how to nudge the collar upwards:
If you want to give it another go yourself, I would recommend using remove.bg, which is a free online tool which removes the background to an excellent standard, for free and almost instantly.
Here's a couple of videos on how to use it, one when combined with Photoshop and another using photopea.com, which is a free online app so close to Photoshop that it has the same shortcuts, layout and icons.
If you don't have Photoshop, photopea.com is the tool I would recommend to use to tweak the draft cut produced by remove.bg. It's more powerful and versatile than GIMP and other similar tools.
