Best Gimp Walk II: David Beckham v. Ashley Cole

Nursing an injury can be quite a chore. We wouldn’t know, of course, because we’re too busy wallowing in our Celine Dion sorrows to keep up with the status of two of England’s top players’ World Cup stampy-making injuries. So, what’s a Kickette to do other than critique which bum leg is best?
Sadly, it seems, both David Beckham and Ashley Cole’s style selections took a nose dive along with their health… are we at the stage where even Cruz Beckham could dress better than either contender? No. But it could happen.
Daddy David chose to dress down, relying on his go-to hobo hotness topped with a tea cozy hat to help him win out; Ashley, who’s never been known to be a fashion plate himself, played it smart in his Chelsea FC training gear.
Readers, help us get us out of our rut and speak your piece: which England player personifies crutches-chic?
Side note: We understand how difficult this gimp walk competition can be since neither man went for the adorkable Joe Cole “I’m injured with one slipper” choice of pity attire.
Remember to take deep breaths, a swig of Irish Coffee and have a look at David playing rubber duckie with James Corden in the tub before choosing wisely. If only Ashley Cole’s song with Fifty Cent was available for their listening pleasure. Next time.


All Becksie, all the time.
[...] It’s a baller crutch-off! D-Becks versus Cashley [Kickette] [...]
David is HOT and Ashley is NOT
Phil Jagielka was the best…his cute smiling face when walking on crutches. Report his pix please
Davit is HOT and Ashley is NOT
opss ..what? ahahaa Beckham ? bath ? With whom ? xD
Hmmm… tough call. I am honestly torn and have to call this one a straight up draw
Uhhh did I miss something because why is Ash doing a song with 50 cent??? Is he trying to ruin his image even more then it already is?? Like I never even knew he was a singer/rapper/whatever… I don’t even look at him as being the rapper type lol… not to be mean but he is going to look stupid.
But I love when David has those low/to big pants on and his under garments stick out lol I think its really sexy!! Especially with the belt because the belt is usually to hold the pants up but for David belts are just jean decoration lol.
EWW. to both. teacozy indeed
David B can do no wrong when it comes to cloth; mather of fact he need not wear it. And David doesn't have to nurse his injury alone he got a wife unlike that idiot Ashley!
i see nothing wrong with what David is wearing…. :/
I can't view the tub photo larger. Boo! Tea cozy or not, Becks is at least making an effort. Lose the hat and I'm sure he would look extremely sexy.
Ashley at least is in just training gear so its not so awful looking but what is David wearing? That hat has got to go.
