Zlatan Ibrahimović and the Porsche 918 Spyder

He scored on his debut for Manchester United at the weekend and he has scored off it with this beast of a machine.  Zlatan is a stylish player and he is also a very very stylish driver. He was recently photographed in Stockholm cruising around in this absolute beauty.

When he first met super agent Mino  Raiola, a 21-year-old Zlatan, was told to get rid of the Gucci clothes , his watches and the flash car he arrived in.Hard work, he added, would be everything. The material things would come on the back of playing success.

After  13 League titles  in 4 different countries in the 15 years since that meeting took place we think the big fella deserved this one.

Angel di Maria and Cheverlot Corvet Stingray

Angel didn’t stay long in Manchester after having his house burgled and failing to settle into Louis Van Gaal struggling side. So he spread his wings(get it? because he is an angel??) and headed to  Paris St.Germain.

At Least he would have  enjoyed the drive across the channel in this awesome American muscle car.

Though we can`t remember the Argentine  doing anything of note as a footballer in England we salute your ability to purchase  a top of the range supercar

Neymar and the Audi R8

Neymar seen here in Barcelona cruising down Las Ramblas with an unidentified pal.

Whoever the passenger is, we hope he knows how  lucky he is  to have a friend like Neymar ,that is so good at football and nice enough to take his friends for laps of the city in his cool car…Very cool Car!!

The Bad

Jurgen Klinsmann and the  Volkswagen Beetle

How many small boys can you fit in a VW Beatle? not many of us are in a position to answer this question , but Jurgen Klinsmann was determined to find out so he asked some young spurs fans to meet him in a car park.

At a press conference, a couple of days after he was asked again “Jurgen could you please tell us how many Boys you got in the car?”

The German striker  coolly responded “Nein”

 

Benoît Assou-Ekotto and the Smart FourTwo

 

A Footballer who hates football was never going to be caught in a Bentley or a Porsche or a Ferrari . There is something almost admirable about a man that  so devoted to his principles that he is prepared to drive around in a toy car whilst

He Told the Guardian that”football is not my passion. ” Well clearly motoring isn’t either but  at least it`s cheap to fill the tank .The last thing you want when you are making £60,000 a week is to be worrying about fuel costs.

Wayne Rooney and the Ford Ka Sport 1.6l

Wayne Rooney was a pretty cool kid. and like all cool kids he wanted a cool car. not content with JUST a classic Ford KA he paid the extra dosh for the sportss upgrade and the personalised number plate.

Unfortunately ,his spelling wasn’t as good as his taste in nifty little compacts.

“ROO N1 ,ROO N1,ROO N1”

Shay Given and the Piaggio Ape

You have to respect a man willing to leave the shores of home and seek out work in foreign fields. The only problem is Shay is a Premier league goalie and  not a builder specialising in tarmacking  driveways

Though he probably made a great save on the price he could probably do with getting something a little more appropriate for a man in his position

Still though, the thumbs-up would suggest he is absolutely loving it so let just let him at it

The Ugly

El Hadji Diouf and the Cadillac Escalade

No it is not the Jokers car from the awful “Suicide Squad” but you would want to be a bit of a clown to drive one.

Step forward(or gently ease off the clutch and press down on the accelerator) El Hadji Diouf

Even by footballing standards, Diouf is a terrible person.Known for spitting, biting

and eh…….gold-plating a Cadillac SUV.

Check,Check and Check

Mario Balotelli and the Bentley Continental  GT

“Why Alway Me? said Balotelli’s T-shirt when he felt the public unfairly focused on the often erratic Italian  footballer and his crazy behaviour..

It might be alway you because you drive around in a camouflaged car when the camouflage does the exact opposite thing that camoflague is meant to do .

If he didn’t want anymore attention he should have sprayed it to make it look like a Ford Focus!

Jermaine Pennant and the Aston Martin DBS

Car Sprayer: Alright Jermain,Nice Aston what can i do for you?

Jermaine Pennant: Well I’d like it to look like a Japanese space toilet?

Car sprayer: Hows this ?

Jermain Pennant: That is spot on mate!! could you take a photo of me in it , outside a burrito bar?

Car Sprayer: i know just the place

Jermaine: Swwwweeeeet

The Stephen Irelands

the pictures speak for themselves..
