St. Didier of Drogba gives £3m to build hospital


Not his own one to ‘recover’ from his many ‘injuries’, it’s for charity

The Spoiler can’t quite put our finger on it, but Didier Drogba has been strangely likable this season (discount last Sunday’s impromptu Harlem Shake if you want.) Perhaps it’s the undeniably prodigious goalscoring, or the fact there was a massive Drogba-deficit last season. Anyhoo, he’s been a thoroughly entertaining bloke recently, and, dare we say, perhaps now even a nice one.

According to the Daily Mail, Didier has pledged the £3m fee he’s just received for becoming the new face of Pepsi to a donation fund for building hospitals in his homeland, the Ivory Coast. He’s even managed to convince ‘hard-up’ Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich to top up the pot with a few million petrodollars:

Sources close to the remarkable deal also claim there will be a generous donation by Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich in a personal show of support for Drogba.

Sportsmail understands Abramovich may even have offered to match the donation pound for pound.

Finally, England produce an official bikini kit


The slightly dull national team shirt just got interesting

The England Bikini

For too long, the attractive ladies of our fair nation have been crying out for a means of displaying their patriotism and most of their skin simultaneously. Finally, their needs have been met with the England bikini kit.

It looks like something Sepp Blatter dreamed as part of his crusade to ’sex up’ the ladies’ game, but the skimpy uniform has come to pass thanks to the chaps at Loaded magazine, who have commissioned a number of England kit designs to be auctioned on behalf of the PSP Association (a charidee dedicated to the support of people with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy).

The Spoiler’s second favourite design from the range is the world’s first England kit for dogs. That’s right, dogs…

Ashley Cole arrested and fined for being drunk

Ashley Cole is a chump

As a kind spirit who no longer beats up toilet attendants, Cheryl Cole is currently doing her bit for charity by climbing Mount Kilimanjaro for Comic Relief.

Her lovable husband Ashley Cole was also at a charity event last night, but decided to spice up the evening with a trip to a South Kensington nightclub and a drunk and disorderly arrest:

The Daily Mail online claims that Cole was arrested after repeatedly swearing at police outside the Collection nightclub in Brompton Road, South Kensington.Cole had attended a charity event at Chelsea Football Club before heading to Collection, which he left at 2.15am.

After reportedly refusing to tone down his language, Cole was arrested and taken into custody to sober up, before being released three hours later with a fixed penalty notice of £80 for being drunk and disorderly.

We bet Mr Cole is feeling very sorry for himself today after that wallet busting fine. To stop such financially devastating incidents from occuring in the future, perhaps Guus Hiddink needs to ban his players from getting their crunk on, like Harry Redknapp has.

Milan loan star find odd way of encouraging charity 

We’re not entirely sure if this advert is a suitable analogy for the need to protect African children with malaria nets, but it’s an extremely good cause all the same.

Increase your sense of self satisfaction by helping out at Malaria No More.
