In the bleak midsummer of off-season it is very easy to let things slide. Other than the Women’s World Cup (congratulations to Japan for winning!) there hasn’t been much around and about football-wise. Darlings, for my absence I apologise. But, as always, I am here for you and ready – in pre-season training if you will. The excitement of the new season is beginning in earnest, with transfers, rumours and pre-season friendlies abound.

I have noticed, sweeties, that these off-duty footballers are all about having the latest accessories. Because of this I bring you the top 4 footballer accessories that will no doubt become must-haves next season. Enjoy!

1.       Torres’ Guns

It would appear that Chelsea newbie Fernando has been working out over the summer. Lamenting his move while pumping iron at the gym perhaps? In any case, Señor Torres is looking pretty hench (ask your little sister what that means) and perhaps the Spanish forward is ready for a new season. Let’s hope, for Chelsea’s sake at least, that he doesn’t take another 903 minutes of football to score his next goal…

DrSparkles is a fan of the guns as accessories, although thinks that maybe the showy vest-top is pushing it a little far in the fashion sakes. No me gusta!

2.       Beckham’s Boots

You would have to be living on another planet, no, in another universe not to know that a brand new Baby Beckham was born recently. On 10th July 2011 the Beckham’s 4th child – and only daughter – came into the world amongst a storm of controversy (mostly due to the choice of name for the little girl and the fact that she was born via caesarean section. DrSparkles believes that women should be able to give birth however the hell they want and thinks that Harper is a pretty name, while Seven sounds like a nod to Star Trek, which can only be a good thing…). Huge congratulations to the Beckhams!

But a baby is not the newest accessory for footballers (although you may think so, given how many of them are new dads right now), tribute boots are…

Behold – Beckham’s newest boots. Pink and white Addidas, with his children’s names sewn into them. You can’t get any more cutting edge than this, worn by the ex-Manchester United legend at a recent Real Madrid vs LA Galaxy match in Los Angeles. It would seem that the boots didn’t do David much good, LA Galaxy lost to his former team 4-1, but the touching tribute to his family is wonderful nonetheless…

3.       Carroll’s Pants

It would seem that being the eighth most expensive footballer in history cannot buy you style or taste. No, we are not talking about Andy Carroll’s flowing locks (although DrSparkles does believe that a shorter haircut would make the most of his bone structure) but the fact that he was currently spotted making a fashion faux-pas of great proportions…

Picture
During a warm-up with his Liverpool teammates Geordie striker Carroll was seen sporting what can only be described as form-fitting black underwear beneath the white (and semi-see through) shorts of his Liverpool 3rd kit (one whose colours may be more fitting for another Merseyside team and that has caused a bit of controversy since it was unveiled)

DrSparkles is unsure whether Carroll is trying to start a new trend with this cheeky pant-show, but does suggest that the bad-boy has a shave and sticks to the Tightie-Whities when he is wearing this kit. It’s too distracting otherwise…

4.       Real Madrid’s Swimmers

Finally, a bit of fun from those loco Real Madrid boys. While out in Los Angeles, showing those American guys how real football is played, they were spotted doing some poolside training. But it doesn’t seem to have been taken too seriously. The FIFA-voted ‘most successful club of the 20th century’ seem to be a fun lot…

Picture
DrSparkles is sure that the headgear sported by most of the team will be seen catwalks during the next Madrid Fashion Week and is happily surprised how attractive silly hats can be on a good looking footballing type.
