Have some of Germany 's football players a more radical approach, taking part in a shoot for Playboy magazine, which caused some consternation, I hear. I can 't really see the problem with him. Male soccer players to have similar photo shoots over the years: it has all become an integral part of the rise of the celebrity footballer.

I 've recently with my old Liverpool team-mate Robbie Fowler reunited - we' re doing our coaching badges together over the summer - and chats with him memories of the old days has brought.

Many of us have male modeling - I have Armani and Eric Cantona had a go on the catwalk for Paco Rabanne and over the years, there have been many footballers modeling underwear in sexy poster campaignsfrom David Beckham to Freddie Ljungberg.
