David Beckham isn’t the only football prophylactic peddler

Throughout his career, Christian Vieri may have put away plenty of goals, but he put away even more fabulously attractive women. The romancer of Melissa Satta, Elena Santarelli, Elisabetta Canalis, Debora Salvalaggio and Fernanda Lessa has now formally recognised his ladykilling skills by releasing his own brand of condoms.

Bobo and 408-year-old Milan legend Paolo Maldini started the fashion line Sweet Years a few years ago (not to be confused with the Baci e Abbracci label Vieri runs with Buffon’s missus Alena Seredova), and the Akuel Blues Sweet Years Limited Edition johnnies were revealed during a press conference this week.

The new condom brand has got off to a hugely successful start thanks to a bulk order from a Cheshire resident named ‘C. Ronaldo’.

Finnish/ Italian beauty who may or may not own any clothes

Finnish actress and model Anna Kristiina Palomäki was raised by her mother in Italy, but found that her surname was prohibitive to getting the kind of work that a pretty young lady with ample cleavage deserves in the boot-shaped nation (i.e. naked calendars, dodgy films and cheap-looking-vaguely-pornographic entertainment shows). Soon after she changed her moniker to Anna Falchi, however, her fortunes changed and she eventually enjoyed a fling with serial WAG-rutter Matteo Ferrari (who has also sampled the delights of nudity fans Debora Salvalaggio and Aída Yéspica).

A Miss Italy who has had more ‘ballers than hot dinners

It is inevitable that the conquests of two of Italian football’s greatest man-whores would overlap, and they have done exactly that in 23-year-old model and showgirl Debora Salvalaggio. She has been steamrollered by Christian Vieri (who has also enjoyed the company of Melissa Satta, Elena Santarelli and Elisabetta Canalis) and Filippo Inzaghi (see Sara Tommasi, Elena Barolo and Aída Yéspica), and also Matteo Ferrari and Simone Inzaghi.

As if this footballer CV isn’t impressive enough, the former Miss Italy contestant (surprise, surprise) is currently engaged to Portuguese Inter Milan youngster Vítor Hugo Gomes Paços, also known as Pélé.
