FOOTBALLERS' LIVES: Ryan Babel

EVERY week, we take a look into the personal life off the field of a major footballing celebrity.

Our latest man in the spotlight is Liverpool's Ryan Babel, who scored twice in the Reds' 6-1 hammering of Hull City on Saturday.

GADGETS

Flicks between two Blackberries, essential items for any top Premier League player.

Uses the Blackberry Messenger service to keep in touch with his Dutch team-mate Royston Drenthe.

STYLE

Linked with foxy Scouse wannabe and former Big Brother housemate Danielle Lloyd but now she's shacked up with Tottenham's Jamie O'Hara, the flying Dutchman is footloose and fancy-free.

Watch out, Liverpool.

CRIB

Pad in Woolton, near Liverpool, worth £2.5 million.

One room is kitted out as a state-of-the-art music studio, where he listens to Dutch underground rap.

BLING

Ryan can always be seen coming from a mile away because he prances around in the most garish Ed Hardy gear money can buy.

He's especially fond of their fabously over-the-top baseball caps.

And, on his wrist, Babel normally wears a flash Audemars Piquet timepiece.

WHEELS

A fully-loaded £100,000 Mercedes ML420 AMG jeep kitted out with £20,000 worth of extras, including lowered sills, black wheels, iPOD dock, top of the range sound system and, wait for it, headrests in the cabin embroidered with his initials.

Classy guy.
