Following Peter Crouch's go-go-gadget legs escapades for England last night, we're all rightly feeling fond of the lanky marksman. And when this image of his beloved Abby Clancy dropped into our inbox courtesy of Pepsi Max, we realised yet again the awesome pulling power of the successful footballer.

Unfortunately for our jealous, tortured souls Crouchie isn't the only World Cup-worthy footballer who's excelling in the lady stakes. Several chaps are all in the mix to be at South Africa 2010 for sides that have qualified, and all boast impressive form with the femmes.

We've selected our early favourites for the title below -- feel free to let us know if we've missed any in the comments.


Francesca Chillemi (Alberto Aquilani)
The floppy-haired Liverpool player can hardly be described as a stunner, but he must have some serious skills when it comes to the ladies. His CV of conquests includes the immaculate former Miss Italy, Francesca Chillemi. (Photo by Getty Images)

Melina Pitra (Fabian Assman)
An Asylum legend on name alone, the Argentine currently plies his trade in goal for Las Palmas. We reckon it's irrelevent how many goals he conceeds, he'd never go home depressed. Why? Glamour model Melina Pitra would be there ready to make it all better. (Photo by Getty Images)

Sarah Brandner (Bastian Scweinsteiger)
Let's be honest, Bayern Munich's German midfield general is no oil painting. But we'd give our right arms to earn his money, play with his skill and get to celebrate it all with Hamburg-based model Sarah Brandner. (Photo by Getty Images)

Cheryl Cole (Ashley Cole)
Ashley's other half needs no introduction. Words would fail us anyway. Please be upstanding for Cheryl Cole... (Photo by Getty Images)

 Silvie van der Vaart (Rafael van der Vaart)
The Real Madrid and Holland midfielder looks set for South Africa 2010 and will be taking his Dutch model, actress and TV presenter wife Silvie with him. Why wouldn't you? (Photo by Getty Images)
