Despite D&G's claims, this isn't the first time fashion and football have got into bed together - think of the right royal unfunkiness of David Beckham's M&S spin-off kids brand.

Soccer players are apparently the new heroes - obviously no drugs and sex scandals in Italy, then - and D&G are worshipping at the altar of the cult of celebrity. It's all a little narcissistic for my liking: "Today's players [...] are in love with what they have become."
