Confession time: we might not have the greatest care in the world about the beauty of football, but we absolutely do care about the beauty of these footy fitties.
We care about their bums, their thighs, their sweaty backs, their pretty faces....
So in honour of tomorrow’s Arsenal vs Aston Villa FA Cup Final, we’ve rounded up a silver cup-worthy selection of the hottest (and we mean scorching) football stars in all their glory.
Maybe none of them will ever match up (geddit?) to the glory of David Beckham in his pants, but they’re still worth a shot.
Forget faking an interest in the offside rule and instead drool over these talented specimens. Gawping at a bunch of fit blokes play with their balls? Don’t mind if we do.
Catch the FA Cup Final Saturday 30 May from 5.30pm on BBC1.
