As children footballers are people we look up to for inspiration. After all, they do for a living what they have enjoyed doing their whole life; kicking a ball around on a field. Football has changed dramatically over the past 20 years and so have footballers wages. This has resulted in an explosion of sales for prestigious cars to footballers, all of whom buy them for the camera's and to compare against their team mates.
No footballer has ever been seen in a reasonably priced diesel Skoda or Fiat 500 runaround, but why should they be - after all, £20k or even £14k is peanuts for a footballer and they likely lose more money down the sofa every year than that anyway.
Whereas supercars are a dream for the average UK public they are reality for footballers. Let's bask in their brilliance by taking a look at the top 10 footballers cars.
Yes, it's true, the Bugatti Veyron has a footballer owner. Does that make it un-cool? It would usually, but bearing in mind the Bugatti Veyron is a miracle of engineering, we'll say it isn't. Cristiano Ronaldo must enjoy being able to put down over 1000 horsepower and 1000 lb /ft of torque when he's not scoring goals for Real Madrid, and if he isn't out driving his Veyron right now, I'd be disappointed. Let's hope his model doesn't find itself gathering dust in a garage in Spain.
