Top 10 footballers' cars

By Mike Collier, contributor

March 28 2007

Lads’ mag Nuts has unveiled its latest ‘Stars and their Cars’ report, which takes a look at the most popular cars driven by Premiership football players. For the third year running, the BMW X5 tops the list as the most popular car sitting in the garage of 25 of England’s finest footballers.

4x4s continue to fill the top two places (1st BMW X5, 2nd Range Rover Sport) for idols like Cristiano Ronaldo, Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney - even though Ronaldo for example is used to advertise Suzuki's small Swift city car.

A List of Cristiano Ronaldo’s “Car-actheristics”

Cristiano Ronaldo’s name can be linked to a lot of things, a football ace, prolific football awardee, women he has dated but for me he has one thing that i really, really like about him - he has some of the world’s most exclusive cars… and i know he can be a good boyfriend because he will give you a car. Remember Nereida Gallardo’s Mercedes? I wonder where is it now, maybe that’s the only remembrance that CR7 has left Nereida. At least she gets to ride still.

CR7 is no different to many footie players and some sports figure everywhere because they blow their big, big salary on exclusive cars, so he’s really no exception. Imagine, in the last five years his car expenses has now reached the 2 million pounds mark. Now’ let’s take a peek to the cars he owned:

The 340,000 pounds Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe

Rolls Royce Phantom

This Bentley GTC is now for sale at 99,995 pounds at a garage in Bolton, Lancs.

He put his name in a waiting list for this Bugatti Veyron, a 235 mph supercar he once raced in his Nike ad.
