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’.

Italy continues to shine as the WAG capital of the world

It seems that certain Italian television shows are a hotbed of WAG activity. Variety show Striscia la Notizia (‘Strip the News’) has given the world Elena Barolo, Melissa Satta and Giorgia Palmas, while Carabinieri (which seems to be the Italian version of The Bill) gave us the stupendously good looking Martina Colombari. Today’s WAG, Elisabetta Canalis is held in particularly high esteem, as she has had the honour of starring in both shows.

She has been romantically linked with Christian Vieri (who has also steamrollered Satta and Elena Santarelli), Didier Drogba and most recently Parma’s Brazilian striker Reginaldo.

Christian Vieri’s Ex is responsible for lightening Sven’s squad

In 2006/07, striker Bernardo Corradi mustered only three goals for Manchester City, so it’s no surprise that Sven put him on a plane back to Italy earlier this season. It turns out that Corradi had been pushing for a move back to his home nation for some time, as he wished to be closer to his girlfriend Elena Santarelli. Looking at the way she scrubs up, it’s hard to blame him…
