Caption comp: Still, at least she's putting on a brave face...

You can't beat a good photo of professional footballers endorsing technology brands.

Unfortunately there aren't too many, as the pic of David James (an all time classic of its genre), right, neatly demonstrates.

How did that briefing go?

"We're going for a sort of 'your-mum's-fur-hat and coat', meets 'sunglasses, trackie-bottoms and moonboots' look David, that cool with you?"

"Yeah, sounds wicked, has the cheque cleared?"

But that photo is from all the way back in 2004.

I was passed a far more up-to-date publicity shot today, right, featuring not one, but three (former) pros, some assorted models and a couple of fellas who I'm guessing are either competition winners or members of middle management hastily pulling branded T-shirts over their civvies, all squeezed into a space not quite big enough for the pose they were hoping to pull off (click to enlarge).

It's not great, is it.

But the more you look at it, the more the eye is drawn towards former Bayern Munich and Aston Villa player Alan McInally (he's the one in the black suit and shirt, left, for anybody who doesn't watch Soccer Saturday).

Go on, look again.

I've even blocked out the rest of the scene for you...

I don't know, footballers! You can't take them anywhere!

Still, they both seem to be enjoying themselves.
