As promised, if you look to the left you’ll see the new and improved Kickette Finest Five list. Not many changes, but assessing hotness cannot be rushed. We anticipate a few more moves in upcoming weeks.
We are already aware that our list heavily favours foreigners from a specific region of the world that seems to produce hotties by the metric tonne. No need to re-inform us of our bias, thank you. Remember, lust lists are – and should remain – entirely subjective. Please fill us all in on your thoughts, personal top fives and so forth.

THE FINEST FIVE
ADDITIONS
5. Frank Lampard, Chelsea FC

We must pre-empt the inevitable hysteria of this decision by stating for the record that Frank Lampard’s admission on the Finest Five list is for a limited period only. He is not a perma. Repeat, he is not a perma.
However, we have found lately that when Lampsy isn’t rocking glittered jumpers or other such fash-trash, he rather does fill out a pair of jeans quite nicely. The thighs are not to be denied, of that we concur.
(Warning, Liverpool fans, look away now). What opened the list up for Frank when we’ve been so wishy-washy before? Witnessing his mental strength in the CL semi’s when he stepped up to take a penalty just days after losing his mother to pneumonia. We’re far from softies, (and in fact, were staring at the television in horror at what we thought was sure to be an excruciatingly awful miss), but when Frank pulled that off, under insane amounts of pressure, we felt something go a quiver. We love us some mental strength in the face of adversity. In any case, we never thought the day would come, but Frankie, you’re on the list. For now. Please see “Bubbling Under” candidates below and be concerned.

SUBTRACTIONS:

Kaspar Schmeichel, like most toyboy crushes, we’ve outgrown you. To be honest, you enjoyed way too long a spot on the coveted list simply because of our napping schedule, and that was irresponsible. We doubt you will return, but keep taking your vitamins and perhaps one day we’ll remember what team you play for.

THE KICKETTE HALL OF FAME
ADDITIONS
Paolo Maldini, AC Milan

The more time passes, the more we appreciate. The more we appreciate, the more we want to feed Paolo tiramisu whilst he smiles sweetly and flexes his legs. It’s not just his historic level of play that is such a sizzle-factor for Paolo, it’s the style and panache and full blown swagger he’s got at levels triple that of the average bloke. And he’s Italian. ‘Nuff said.
BUBBLING UNDER:

Carlos, your time to shine is approaching. Nando, you’re nearly there. We are starting to feel the love. Florent, we feel we may have judged you and your stellar cheekbones too soon and too harshly. We’re thinking you need some serious reconsideration. And Roque? You deserve a list all your own.
