Intro Post: Alessandro Nesta
'Regarded as one of the best defenders in Europe, Alessandro Nesta is powerful yet extremely mobile. His elegance conceals his toughness and he possesses impeccable positional sense.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is who I'll be pimping this month.
BASIC FACTS
Date of birth: March 19, 1976
Place of birth: Cinecittà, Rome, Italy
Height: 1.87 m (6 ft 1½ in)
Playing position: Centre Back
Current Club: AC Milan (since 2002)
Previous Club: Lazio (1992-2002)
Sandro married Gabriela Pagnozzi (daughter of Raffaele Pagnozzi, Secretary General of the Italian Olympic committee) on May 7th 2007. They have two children - Sofia (born October 19th 2006) and Tommaso (born March 20th 2008). He retired from the Nazionale in July last year, after eleven years service - mostly because he seemed to spend most of it recovering from injury incurred in the Azzurri shirt. He is effortlessly elegant on the pitch and has been regarded as one of the best centre-backs in the world for a good few years now.
But, enough of the facts, what about the man? Well, our Sandro is many things.
He is petulant
And stroppy
And a little bit bossy.
He is also prone to hair-swishing handbags.
(And that's why we love him.)
He can be devious and manipulative,
And smug and smirky
But, when he looks this good in a suit, who the fuck cares?
*bites tongue and says nothing about Gabriela*
And, like all good Italian boys, he loves his Mama.
Ahem. Moving swiftly on...
When not wearing a suit, he likes nothing better than to relax in a bit of A&F
Srsly. A LOT of A&F.
Also, he has an irksone tendency to wear terribly long shorts at the beach.
(Nor can he make up his mind about the chest-hair thing.)
[Many thanks to Forza at sandronesta.com for this one]
Sandro is one half of the Milan Wall OTP.
This is my comfort food OTP, the one I come back to time and time again.
However, my Sandro is a little bit of a slut. He will quite happily get it on with anyone who offers, frankly. But, he and the Swedish Nose have a long-standing love-hate relationship. Which mostly involves a lot of bitching,
A fair amount of clothes-pulling,
And lots and lots of extremely hot hate!sex.
So. That is what you will be getting this month. Brace yourselves. In the meantime, want more? Try these:
