A quick query while you’re here: do you find exposed chest hair (aka torso-fro) on footballers (or men in general) to be a lovable rug to hug or an ingrown fur to forget about?

His mind might be saying ‘no’, but Javier Hernandez’s body is only a few drinks away from succumbing to our advances.

Perseverance, guys and gals of the peanut gallery. When all else fails, slip ‘em a cocktail or ten.

If the cheeky little smirk on Grasshopper Zurich midfielder Daniel De Ridder’s face isn’t sufficient to get you heading down to the newsagents to purchase the latest edition of Dutch mag ‘L’Officiel Homme’, allow us to give you a heads up.

We were fortunate enough to be offered a sneaky peak at what Danny is offering in his feature spread and can confirm his wares include bed-head, sex-face, back lit abs and the tiniest hint of a happy trail. All things that make us slightly suspicious that the shoot director was a Kickette, in fact.

What are you waiting for? The mag came out on October 1st!

Without naming names and making a certain someone feel more uncomfortable than he already looks, somebody got the short end of the promo modeling stick.

Good lord what have they done to his hair? And furrowed brow? We feel awkward for him.

Because we can’t have any member of our Finest Five looking this unattractive in broad, publicly accessible daylight, there’s only one thing left to do that doesn’t involving Googling “Marco Borriello on a boat” pictures.

Kickettes, please excuse us while we take some alone time for ourselves. We have a lot of prep work to do (read: kick off our heels, mix a dozen spiked apple ciders) before our Mayhem and Fruit Beverages Suite ladies perform an emergency Cesc-orcism and free this man’s hawt body from the fugly inner demons that appear to be troubling him.

Gerard Pique poses for FHM1

While we usually prefer ‘ballers in the buff (or as close to that as possible), brooding editorials like these also bring joy to our bad boy-loving selves.

Gerard Pique for FHMGerard Pique for FHMIn a new interview with FHM España, Pique describes his personal style as “modern and elegant,” and says he typically opts for jeans and t-shirts during the day, but switches to a button down (and sometimes a tie) in the evenings. He names Mango and Nike as his favorite brands, which also happen to be the same brands who sponsor him. Good boy. We smell contract renewals next season.

Not one to shy away from navigating his own fashion choices, Pique says he values Shakira’s opinion when it comes to style because “women have always been more fashionable than men, or least have a better understanding of fashion.”

Coincidentally, that’s what we always say!

Joseph Barton, we here at Kickette have a dangerously honed capacity for short-tent spotting, which is why we’re insulted by a package padding ruse like this. Image: Clive Rose/Getty Images/Daylife.
